pappenheimer as broozar and me already mentioned, my version is too old. I'd need acknex 4.6. Conitec should never have given Sybex the permission to publish 3dgs. And now, as they did, they don't even stand by that and give the Sybex users no patches (afaik because of copy pirates! this is dumb as they make public betas where everyone can get and crack the executable and don't want to publish a patch?? but I am not completely sure if this was the reason), I should pay them even more money?
I would probably update if they just gave me the patches and don't treat me like someone who has only paid half price or something! I'd be happy then, love 3dgs and buy A7.
I mean, they could have made the Acknex 4.6 version update cost something (and just naming it upgrade). I wouldn't have any problem with that. But it is just really unfair to give the update for free to the users who bought the 3dgs for 50 euros from conitec and not to give it to customers who bought it for 50 euros from Sybex! What does Conitec expect me to do? Be happy and fully satisfied with this and upgrade and all?
A company needs happy customers to make money. And this is not a good thing on this point (although there are a few good reasons why 3dgs is good or at least not bad). Conitec should definitely think again about their position.
