    Late renewal fee

    Hi again everyone, Some more info from our VAR: from now on it will be impossible to upgrade to new version without taking subscription service (is it everywhere or only in Latvia?). So the longer You are not on subscription, the less motivation (regarding money: penalty is getting bigger and...

    Late renewal fee

    Jeff, When Late renewal fee was only 500EUR, it was a normal practice also here in Latvia to make a discount for it, but it seems that this is no longer the case. Antons

    Late renewal fee

    Dan, Latvia is a small country, and it is hard to make a deal with some phantom company without VAR knowing what is going on. And as far as I know, it is not allowed to resell SW if you are not an official VAR. Antons

    Late renewal fee

    Thank You all for interesting answers. Yes, previously, it was something about 500EUR (at least here in Latvia) for Late renewal fee without taking into account, how long You have not been on subscription. Now our VAR is telling: for EACH year You are not on subscription, Late Renewal fee is...

    Late renewal fee

    Hi, Today our VAR intoduced, as he told us, new SolidWorks Late renewal fee policy: the longer You are not on subscription, the bigger late renewal fee (a penalty?) You will have to pay when You want to be on subscription again. 1)Is it everywhere or just here in Latvia? 2)Is it correct to...

    Large format plotter

    Hello, It may look like thread hijacking, but it is not! It is just very closely related to this thread. Is it wise to try to find a large format printer rental to cut some expenses. Idea behind: we need to print only when project is going (~6 months), then we have some quiet period, e.g. no...

    Handling BIG assemblies

    To Stefan: Well, RAID1 is more reliable than simply 2 drives, but in that case I lose some HDD speed. So, in my opinion, I have chosen compromise between reliability and performance. Correct me if I am wrong. Would You better recommend 1700FX or 4500FX? To All: Thanks for Your input on this...

    Handling BIG assemblies

    Hi Eric About the OS - yes, forgot to mention that. We indeed are planning to install Win XP Pro 64bit. And I understand, that this configuration is almost maximum we can get from non-Xeon systems. And we thought about raid but decided to go with one HDD to system and one for SW for security of...

    Handling BIG assemblies

    Hello guys, This is my first post here, so, please, do not be harsh with your comments. Question: will workstation with configuration given below be capable of working with assemblies of 30000-60000 elements (nothing complicated, very few patterns)? If not, where could be the bottleneck? CPU...
