i would estimate closer to 10,000 seats worldwide
that makes $7million a year..... lets assume the devs are on $50k * 8 that's only $400k a year dear Autodesk, keep Soft alive, keep 90% of your profits (as you always have), and throw half a million at third party guys to shore up your product... bear in mind that if you actually knew what you had purchased, with a little love, some money and the right marketing, you could now own Houdini's share of the market... you fools a _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Richard Sanchez Sent: 12 March 2014 16:59 To: XSI List to post Subject: Re: thinking out loud That may not happen till after 2016 when they stop releasing updates.

If there are, for example 3000 seats globally on support, each netting Autodesk something in the region of $700 a year, that's over $2 Million Dollars every year! If no-one transitions over, that's a lot of money they'll lose. Just thinking out loud. Chris -- www.johnrichardsanchez.com
