Export best practices when ending subscription

We're looking at winding down operations, and obviously won't have an Autodesk subscription after that happens. 99% of our customers never ask for models, they only want the end product. I currently have my PSmodel files, DGK files, Powemill sessions, and NC programs.

I'm just thinking about what I should do with all the data from the last DECADES.

As far as saving the files, that's not really a problem, hard drives are cheap. What I'm wondering is should I go back and create STEP?files? for the most recent parts? How far back? Maybe create them from the DGK files that I used for Powermill? Odds are whoever might use this data in the future to duplicate or repair any of my work won't have PowerShape and PowerMill.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Steve
