Yeah $100 late fee (though thanks to Manny & friends at AD they've dropped that). And now I'm locked out of the Customer Portal until I send my check and signed contract back to the reseller.

Autodesk just feels like such a huge dinosaur when these things happen. -Paul On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 11:58 AM, Paul Griswold < [email protected]> wrote: > Hehe - thanks Eric!
