This is my current Experience. I have X 14 upgrade for which I paid $599.00. I upgraded to X15 for which I had to pay $995. Big jump. I thought that I was able to keep X15. NO, No, No.
My X15 expired and I do not have an access to X15. I did a design in X15, but now I do not have access to that software and it is not Compatible with X14. Now if I want to upgrade to X15 I have to pay $1955.00 Does that make any sense? I think that with their new pricing policies they will start loosing lot of customers. I have Been Chief user since Version 6. (not X6, but 6). Once the one year subscription of X15 expire, you will not be able to use it unless you fork out $1995.00
