AutoCAD 2006 users could be saving £ 1245.00

AutoCAD 2006 upgrades to AutoCAD 2009 are a suggested price of £ 1725.00, this is discounted by 20% when you order before 17th October 2008 and purchase subscription. This is a saving of just £ 345.00 you may suggest.

You'd be correct if you upgrade before 15th March 2008, which is the cut off date for upgrading AutoCAD 2006 products.

We have found in the last few years, many organisations have 'put off' upgrading until the last minute and then discovered that budgets and orders couldn't be processed as quick as they would like.

The only option was to purchase via 'Autodesk Legacy' with a suggested retail price of £ 2625.00, plus mandatory Autodesk Subscription at a cost of £ 425.00. The difference being £ 1245.00 !!


Avoid the additional costs of 'Autodesk Legacy' and take advantage of the 20% discount and request a quotation from our sales team today.

Alternatively we can provide upgrade training rather than the 20% discount. So not only will you have the latest software tools, you will also have the knowledge to take best advantage of them.
