Some users will upgrade once every 3 years but you can raise the price to adjust like it is done now. Bug Fixes, OS Compatibility, Speed, Small Evolution on a yearly basis.BIG Evolution of features every 2 years (Column, Beam, Stairs).BIG Feature every three to five years (ex BMATs, Structure, MEP, Interface).Be professional in your marketing and start from the point that AC since version 17 (Building Material Intro) is basically feature complete and from now one the strategy is to plan for:
Vectorworks mac software#
AC is professional software not the latest version of WOW, Destiny or Call of Duty. and spells major trouble for other Mac-based CAD software like VectorWorks. They do it because they want to not because they need to. Why was AutoCAD offered for the Mac up until 1992, then removed from the. The yearly marketing Big Release excuse is another stupid lie. In the end GS can stager their updates within the existing SSA as they have tried and failed to do in the last 2 releases by indicating that certain bugs or fixes will be released in SP1 and SP2. Also imagine what would have happened if GS had removed Attribute Manager for the new one in one of those updates. The continuous improvement lie implies that you will have continuous Beta running which means that most long time users will drop out ( I already spend too much time here, in GDCP and in the Beta) since I can take a little time off to try stuff but Beta testing is not my job.
This is a benefit to our offices and NOT as VW indicates "an indication that our users prefer subscription". If you think it thru the benefit of having subscription licenses is that I can add seats as I need temporarily without the upfront investment. VW uses as another selling point that subscription revenue is up but their analysis is flawed. So "forcing" us into sub only will just p'ss-off your most loyal users and very likely will not generate more revenue since the ones in older versions are a relative minority. I don't see most AC users quitting their SSAs even though the last versions have emphasized "upgrades" that do not apply to a majority of us, though we are up to a point that everybody is protesting the emphasis on structure. Continuous improvements, release when ready, not having to do a Big release are problems they themselves created and promises they will never be able to keep since a group of users will always be left out of the improvements. The basic sum up is that they are "FORCING" users into subscription and of all the justifications they think up are basically lies.
