@mjv123 I'm not sure Autodesk has ever offered any pricing scheme "good for 7 years" in it's corporate life, that sounds like financial suicide for a public company like them. Sorry.

Remember, unlike the good old days, your AutoCAD subscription is buying you access to 7 software packages and 1 add-on, whether you use them or not (and if you count MAC versions, that's two more software)

Do you need to look at the LT version of AutoCAD if you have no need for all of those 7 other packages?

Or is it time to leave the reservation

Best of luck.
