i got a call to join the web cast
and give them money to upgrade

she mentioned something like that the upgrade door would be closed (or much more expensive if i didn't upgrade) at some date coming soon!
... end of this year i think she said

i spent of good deal of money on 2 DXP/P2004 licenses which are still gathering dust i will probably changeover at some point but have not seen the urgent need as of yet

i spent the money so that i could retain a reasonable cost of future-proofing which now seems in doubt - (^#*^(*^(*

the sales person (can't remember her name, Alexis or some 'A') touted the FPGA integration over and over and could not seem to understand that since i have no need for this it had no value to me

in case someone didn't get the email hype from them and is interested, here is a snip from their email

Why is it that Altium always does this? Release confusing and contradictory 
information that simply riles and inflames their existing customer base. What a 
bunch of useless wankers!

        I would love to understand the mentioned licensing levels/versions but 
I couldn't find anything that explained it in their released information. 
Typical crap. I do not know if it was simply the existing AD verses Nexar, 
verses viewer licensing or something new that would allow licensing of a 
package of PCB/Sch features without all the FPGA stuff that we will never use. 
But no, they release a bunch of double talk that says nothing intelligent and 
imparts no useful information. Even the whole idea of the release announcement 
is misconstrued and totally untrue. Wankers!

There is no new release yet - despite the press release. The new version of AD is still in Beta testing.
