[PCB_FORUM] Re: Cadence Maintenance Fees

You may be right in your assesment Austin.  When I read it again, he is
probably refering to Studio when he says 220.  Still doesn't make sense
to me.  

Here's the quote verbatim:

"What's behind this is that Cadence felt the gap between the Performance
Option and 610 (Expert) was too large, that you got too much additional
functionality above the 220 for the amount they were charging for the
Performance Option, so they've raised the price to $15,000 from $9995,
and maintenance as well from $1600 to $2700"

I'm not sure I understand the logic of the explanation.  If "folks" were
getting "way too much, incrementally," when purchasing Expert over
Performance, that would mean they would want to widen the price gap
between the two, not close it.  Or, am I reading this wrong?

And yes, I am not happy that my maintenance fees will go up by %50 in
the near future.

Regards,

Austin
