Our office is expanding and we're thinking about upgrading to ten licenses
of Acad LT2002. We were thinking if would it be legal if we:
1. buy a "TEN" licensing package of a Upgraded ACADLT2002 to upgrade "ONE"
license of a full version ACAD LT98
or...
2. Buy a 10 licensing package of a cheap outdated ACADLT98 (full version)
THEN we buy another 10 upgraded package of LT2002.

The objective here is to save money, now and the future, not that we are
cheap. But if we can pay the same thing for less, why in the hell not?

Any input, confusion or comments?
John

Not legal, for obvious reasons. (I'm not sure if that's what you're asking
or not.)

Whichever works. Just be sure that the outdated version you get is still
upgradeable by AutoDesk or you'll be shooting yourself in the foot. You may
not be aware that their policies on upgrades have gotten rather stingy
lately.

Thanks Tom on your reply

" 1. buy a "TEN" licensing package of a Upgraded ACADLT2002 to

Yeah, that was what I mean. Buy 10 Upgrades 2002 for ONE 98 doesn't seem
too legal, is it? :)

Do you know if there's a link to AutoCAD licensing policy so i can do a
little more studying?

Best Regards
John

Check out www.autodesk.com I don't have a direct link, but they have a
licensing FAQ on there somewhere. Try a site search for licensing.

You might also want to call a local dealer.
