RE: SWx Subscription "fine" pulled back
Dear SolidWorks Customer,
This note is to clear up any confusion over SolidWorks Subscription policy changes that, if they had been implemented, would have affected a very small percentage of SolidWorks users. It is also to assure you that subscription prices are absolutely not increasing. The subscription price has been constant since our inception and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
We understand that you need to focus on designing better products and improving your business performance, not worrying about software tools or subscription terms.
You may have heard of plans to increase a fee for late subscription payments (and late payments only). Based on valuable input from customers and resellers over the past few weeks, we have decided not to implement these changes. Instead, we are carefully weighing this input and reviewing our overall subscription policies. We have two imperatives in this review: 1) to remain easy for you to do business with and 2) to ensure you receive the best value for your investment. This means that you will continue to gain value from our subscription offerings, and non-subscription customers can rejoin our community any time at an affordable price.
Nothing is more important to us than our relationship with you. We're pleased that your overall satisfaction with our support services and value added-resellers continues to increase and has never been higher, according to our annual independent satisfaction survey of nearly 10,000 customers conducted in July. Although the ratings are good they need to be better, and we will continue to provide better performance, value, and quality throughout our entire product suite and services.
If you have any questions or concerns about Subscriptions or our products in general, please call your local reseller, or send email to me (rwelch@solidworks.com) or Paul Mazur (pmazur@solidworks.com) and we'll be happy to respond.
Thank you,
Rich Welch
Vice President, Customer Service
Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp.

It didn't look as though Rich Welch was quite as eager to be so public this time, for whatever that's worth.

I'm not sure that guy is feeling anything but frustration and humiliation right now.

Perhaps you could substitute the Great White cover of "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" for the original Ian Hunter/Mott the Hoople version. Works for me anyway....
