One other thing to mention Gary, and I'm sure you'll find it important is
the communications of a user community (read --> listervers) I'm not sure
about Zuken, but I do know the Mentor users group listserver requires you
to have your software on maintenance to sign up for it. It'll continue
when you're off maintenance, but not to sign on originally. Cadence users
have their own community (www.cadenceusers.com or .org) that allows you to
sign up to their user community listserver regardless if you have
maintenance, the tools, or if you've even a Cadence user.
Now, I do know all the major tools have very good Host Company websites
where you can get updates and download software, but a well established,
highly used listserver is a necessity in today's CAD world.
Good day.
