I wrote to BobCadCam asking the total cost to upgrade all my licenses from v23 to v24. I indicated in the mail that I do not wish to be contact via phone due to different time zone, not wanting to be disturbed while I was asleep. Their sales rep sent me a mail and we started emailing each other a few hours ago with my queries on my existing licenses. He called after, saying that it is easier if we just talk. A few minutes later, I made the payment via PayPal.
This round, I decided to try my hand at hammering down the quoted price, after reading much about this topic on the forum.
The sales rep started at a total of USD1,520, including shipping and custom tax (GST included, as I was told. I'll verify this when the package gets here). I went on my plan and managed to bring down the price to USD600, inclusive of shipping (USD480 for the software and USD120 for shipping & tax). To think that I paid a total of USD1,600 the last time for the same set of stuff for v23.
These are what I'm getting for v24 (2 seats of everything):
1) Mill Pro, Lathe, BobArt;
2) Training DVD;
3) Simulation level 2;
4) Editor level 2.
For the v23 I bought the last round, I bought over a period of time (upgrading and adding on) the above plus the v22 training DVD. The v23 training DVD wasn't available when I first started on the software.
I've them promised to deliver the package to me before I go on leave from August 15 for 2 weeks.
Frankly, I don't really know if I need the upgrades. Maybe its the newer graphic and the few toolpath and features that attracts me to them.
Like I always like to say, let's see how things go.
