Eovia Announces Immediate Availability of Hexagon 2005-05-10 - By tonyno@(protected)

Maybe his point is that 99 USD exchanges to about 77 EUR, but, he would need to
pay 22 EUR more?

Help me out No spam I not to familiar with the currency exchange.
If Hexagon cost 99 Eurodollas over there as the website says.
If Hexagon cost 99 USAdollars over there as the website says.

Bonjour Bob,
BS> #2 - This is a companion license. You must have a valid
BS> Eovia product serial number to activate it. And you are correct
BS> that you can keep your Designer license and have the option to
BS> upgrade it to Pro.
This is very nice of you indeed.
BS> #3 - It is not a mistake. It is simply the price for the product in Europe.
This is very bad of you indeed.
The only rational I can see for that is that Hexagon was developed by
French poeple you had to paid in Euros with the 33 % fiscal pressure
firm have plus the 50 % average fiscal pressure employees have here in France.
Problem is that this pressure does not makes us 50 % richer than our
American friends, rather the contrary.

BS> Bonjour Bob,
BS> Three questions, one being a call for a fairer price system :
BS> - Could somebody ( Thomas for example ;-) ) send us a side-by-side
BS> comparison of Amapi 7 / Amapi 7 pro / Hexagon features ? It is not
BS> always easy to compare them. For example, Amapi 7 does export
BS> to Illustrator while Hexagon does
BS> not. These kind of small differences can make the decision in some
BS> specific needs.
BS> - Is the 99 � "companion upgrade" offer a companion offer, or an upgrade ?
BS> If it is a companion offer, then people upgrading from Amapi 7 keep
BS> their Amapi license valid, with possibility to upgrade Amapi to Amapi
BS> Pro, for example.
BS> If it is an upgrade in the true meaning, then people upgrading from
BS> Amapi loose their ability to use Amapi and to upgrade to Amapi Pro.
BS> So, companion-offer or up-grade ?
BS> - European customers will pay 118 � VAT included. Knowing that the
BS> Dollar is 0,77604 of an Euro today, that means that your European
BS> customers will pay 152 dollars what your American customers will pay
BS> 99. Is that ... fair ? This kind of behaviour is well known of Adobe.
BS> It makes us badly feel like fleeced sheep.
BS> I understand that you may have been badly advised by an financial
BS> councelor that is not up-to-date with the change rate between Dollar
BS> and Euros so I am not blaming you, but hope you correct that mistake as
soon as possible.
