As for the cost of a license, it is my understanding that a dedicated single-user license costs are on par with the user's salary. They have multi-user licenses as well in several flavors - a basic viewer that's available to just about anyone within the company that asks for it, a more capable viewer that lets the user perform measurements that requires basic approval, and a full-featured version that requires justified approval and pops up a warning every time you use it that reminds you that it is expensive, and that you should use the cheaper versions if you don't need the advanced features.<br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"geneb" <geneb@deltasoft.com><br><b>To: </b>"Simulator Cockpit Builder's List" <simpits-tech@simpits.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, October 1, 2014 10:26:11 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [simpits-tech] FreeCAD<br><div><br></div>On Wed, 1 Oct 2014, Brian Sikkema wrote:<br><div><br></div>> I have not.
