DRAWZILLA Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 just got my SSA renewal, went to pay it but apparently it wasn't ready to pay yet, so I was wondering if X14 will be available 2-1-22 as usual except for last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I normally get that email about a month before the 1st time , they now allow you to buy multiple years at once, with a 5% discount, so I did this time figuring that Chief is raising prices on everything it seems including Training come the New year so it will save me a bit more than 5% long term. You are as hopeful / optimistic as Larry , X13 was only fully released <6months ago and still has issues..... I'm not expecting Beta till then to be honest, not that I wouldn't love to see X14 without the issues of X13 .... but I think CA is finding out the hard way you shouldn't name things with a 13 in them as it seems that old superstition has come home to roost. Hopefully X14 Updates will concentrate on making doing ConDocs easier / more productive while the 3D Team "Fixes" the new 3D engine that doesn't seem ready for Prime Time.

For sure! Remember Autocad R13? It was horrible! I was so glad when R14 came out. Maybe X14 will work well - right out of the box! I can wish can't I?

Electromen Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 My SSA is due Jan. 6. I contacted support to let them know that I have new credit card numbers. They want to to call Sales. Why is there no way to update my account online? I don't want to stop working Monday thru Friday, call, be put on hold and have to read numbers over the phone. I should be able to do it now, Sunday afternoon. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I just did it this Sunday afternoon. You go into your account and place the renewal order using PayPal or any other card. It's pretty easy. What's stopping you? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I got to the correct SSA Renewal page from the Digital Locker under "My Account." There was a "Renew Your SSA" button on the right hand side which worked fine. If you go to the Digital Locker, and still get the "A customized quote is not available" message, then I guess you have no option but to talk to Sales on Monday.

HumbleChief Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm guessing Chief will get back to a February release eventually but not after a June 2022, August 2023, October 2024, and a December 2024 release. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's GREAT news but doesn't that beg the definition of 'on time'? Hope you're right cause I like new things but as with all things Chief I've learned to keeps hopes high and expectations low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic900 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Hello all chief users, Was told by sales about a month ago that X-14 might be released in the Spring 2022 as was told by sales that in November private beta has not yet started for x14. However they might be doing in house beta. Sales could not share specifics with me when private beta would start. Sorry for the bad news for those looking forward to the release in Winter 2022. Should say early 2022. Dominic Edited December 20, 2021 by Dominic900 Error release date winter 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason you can't just wait till they release new versions and then pay the upgrade fee at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. I received the email about contacting Sales regarding long term purchasing. So I responded accordingly by email and phone mentioning that and they responded only offering to help me with my annual renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH_Canada Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 yes 525 ended Feb 1. given it went to 595, an increase of 13%, and if that continued every year, getting it for $499 is a good deal comparatively as that would be less than the cost of borrowing (around 5%). i.e. to borrow $500 a year would cost roughly $25 per year so even if the 13% was a one time for the next three years, it would be $500+$525+$550= $1575 compared to 525+595+595=$1715 for the best case scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
