[PEDA] DXP software mistake ?
Hello, We bought a couple special-deal copies of Protel 99SE from Altium here recently, and they've been in-house now for a a while. I believe part of the deal on the cheapness was that it didn't upgrade automatically to DXP, and maybe not at all. Beyond recommending to management to buy these fairly stable versions (with the service packs) and warning them away from the new, uncertain, and costly DXP, I didn't pay a lot of attention to the gory details. Now I've got a white box on my desk and inside is a thin manual called INTRODUCING PROTEL DXP, along with a multi- media demo cd and what appears to be a copy of Protel DXP. But I didn't buy DXP... Did anybody else get what I got with- out buying it? I notice that there aren't any registration numbers for it. Are they expecting me to naively go thru the entire installation just to find out I don't have a reg number, and then throw up my arms in surrender and immedi- ately send them a check for $7000 (or whatever they're charg- ing for it now)? Or has there been some sort of mistake?

Hi Mike: If you purchased the SE99 seats less than a year ago, you got 1 year free ATS with each seat, which means you get a free upgrade to DXP. I did the same and just got my copy of DXP too. The CD Codes will come in the mail separately. I got mine the day after the software came. I did waste about a an hour searching my desk looking for the codes before someone on this list informed me that they would come separate. I guess it is printed somewhere, but I never found it.

I believe part of the deal on the cheapness was that it didn't upgrade automatically to DXP, and maybe not at all. It is unlikely that such deals would not include ATS, unless it was purchased before the cut-off date, which was last year, I forget exactly when. All the deals of which I am aware would have included ATS. If this was some very special deal that explicitly excluded upgrade rights and ATS, that would be a different story. You can easily call Altium and find out Are they expecting me to naively go thru the entire installation just to find out I don't have a reg number, and then throw up my arms in surrender and immedi- ately send them a check for $7000 (or whatever they're charg- ing for it now)? Or has there been some sort of mistake? No and No, I don't think so. First of all, with the exception of free licenses that Protel has occasionally dispersed, say, to employees, any licensed copy of 99SE is eligible for upgrade. The upgrade price, right now, is $1995, it is certainly not $7000. And if the copy was purchased (or obtained as an upgrade to 99SE) after the cutoff date last year, it included one year of ATS; to my knowledge all these licenses receive DXP for free. If you bought a used license, generally that would not include ATS, *unless* it was originally purchased or upgraded to 99SE after the cutoff date. * Tracking #: 13490E42C53D3440B1EDA57495061AC409DF9249 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

They discount everything if you are already a customer of a previous product.

Well Protel sent me a flyer for P99SE training this week! - of course it had the usual stuff about places being limited so book early. Yeah sure.
