Hy

We use ADSK PDS Premium 2012 with subscription.

With the release 2013 Inventor is included in the standard edition.

Therefore i have called my reseller to check out the possibility to downgrade oure premium edition down to standard edition.

Now the reseller told me that we have to pay more than 2'000.- CHF per workplace to do this change...

I can't belive that a simple downgrade from one edition to an other can costs so much!

Yours

Hi mail,

This is correct, downgrades follow the usual upgrade policy, meaning that customer pays the usual upgrade price when doing a “downgrade”.

So you are getting LESS product but are paying MORE for it.  That makes perfect sense.  Thanks for the "free" upgrade Autodesk.  We never had a choice when going to Premium because there wasn't a Standard addition back then that included Inventor.  Now we don't need the Premium package, but have to pay a lot of money to get less of a product.
