mthd97 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have noticed that the hardware lock has increased in price from $69.95 to $114.95 in a very short space of time. What has accounted for this large price jump please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Probably public demand but I am guessing. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 the hardware lock use to be $50 for X7 it went to $69 so now its $115 :( I know CA doesn't like hardware locks but this price leaping is ridiculous since I am now retired I may have to give serious consideration to having X8 be my last upgrade while I can afford the cost - I just find it very annoying for such price leaping its plain and simple gottcha grabbing :( Lew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Don't use it then. We haven't needed them for a while, so the price jump is probably due to the fact that they don't buy them in bulk any longer. The $$ gets passed on to those that think they still need them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Joey: yes, my partner and I still think we need the hardware lock many, many reasons for this decision about preferring the hardware lock so yes, if the hardware lock gets too expensive we will have to make more decisions Lew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRST8TRKR Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Lew, I prefer to use the hardware also lock as well and find this an unusually large increase. Have a great week end,Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey, bulk buying would not likely account for nearly doubling the cost of the lock. CA Administration can tell us why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignsbyDan Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Wouldn't that be bad if every software had a lock after you purchase their product? Windows Office, Forte, Amason Prime,etc. CA is a profit based company and sells at "What Ever We Will Pay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoine Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 our hardware lock price should be part of our upgrade. (CA?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
