Wayne, in a previous message I read that a student can obtain AutoCAD for $150. Can you provide and details? I talked to my AutoCAD sales person, he said the cost is $695. Thanks for your help. Bob.

Bob, Addison-Wesley has a student version of R10 for $155. The R11 student version (with hardware lock) costs $695, and is usually purchased through school bookstores or your local friendly AER. Shoe

Terence, Do you know the student price on r12? PAT

Pat, To my knowledge, the current release is never available in a student version. Wait 'til R13 hits the shelves. Shoe

Quick clarifications: R10 Student version = Addison Wesley = bookstores R11 (locked) = Autodesk = AER wayne

Wayne, Bookstores can also make arrangements with Adesk to sell R11 locked version. Ours is doing just that and has sold several copies. Shoe

Robert, The 150 dollar version is only at college book stores and it is a bundled packet with learning guide and software from Addison-Wesley publishers as Terence stated. The AERs usually do not deal this "book store" product from what I have come to learn. It is the full version and a real deal. No school has a reason now to use anything else but Adesk products now.<G> BFN (:-) PAT

Almost Pat but you don't quite get the cigar yet. Please note everyone that this is just what it says a STUDENT version. It is NOT available to ANY labs or other use than STUDENTS. AND they don't want it because it has NO upgrade path. When the school buys R10 at their education price and includes their upgrade cost, they pay LESS. Everything else is right on though. This IS a deal and no STUDENT should be without one. WW

Only the poverty-strickened student that's without 150 bucks! Terry
