What concerns us up here in Boeing country (and is concerning Boeing) is that in several places in the NDA agreements (and I am sure in ITAR and others as well) it states quite clearly that you must be in full control of your data (actually Boeing's data) at ALL times. If the software company has the ability to "switch" you off (for whatever reason) then you are hardly in full control of the data. Note Boeing is not necessarily worried about data being transferred without authorization but an interruption in there JIT supply chain.

Ok that is an interesting view. ( If the software company has the ability to "switch" you off (for whatever reason) then you are hardly in full control of the data.)

To me it's simple. It all boils down to morals.

A blind man can see Autodesks plan stood on a desert island blindfolded in the middle of no-where in the dark from 1,000 miles away.

CNC are better than that. I just hope their sales department are...

 

IMO, if CNC is going to implement a subscription platform, there needs to be an option to view and post legacy data. This could be done by offering a perpetual seat at a one off price that cannot be updated in the future (ie a "cheap" price for the latest version which freezes the company at that software version for ever more).

Then if in 5 years time the company wants to jump back into Mastercam, then it's effectively start again for them. Pay perpetual licence at full cost, or subscription again with the option of freezing at a later date.
