Update: As of noon on Thursday August 28th, SolidWorks has rescinded the penalties that were soon to take affect. You can read the email that went out to the resellers and customer here. Good move on the PR side. SolidWorks is listening to the customers, plus the resellers don’t look like bad guys to the customers.
A bunch of us have been nibbling away like happy angry beavers about some new penalties that came out recently for not renewing you SolidWorks subscription support in a timely fashion.
You may not know, or even care, that there’s a $1295 cost, in addition to the $3995 price of the SolidWorks software, to receive support from your reseller, software updates, access to the Customer portal and more. The penalty is tacked on if you don’t pay the $1295 each year. So what?
