They also run the floating license locking system where if the license server breaks you can't use the program anymore. But I know that program would take me a year to learn and probably still is full of bugs. He dropped the price to 10k and later to 5k. I told him we still use PCB 2.8 so don't need it. I had the Altium salesman on the phone a while ago, pushing a GBP 20k product. The PCB 2.8 I have, GBP 1500 at the time, is a legit copy. It had Orcad SDT schematic import but the result was rubbish, with components moved around etc. They did a PCB v3 but from what I saw it was full of bugs and barely usable. Was there ever a successor which retains the functionality without introducing massive bloat? Protel got taken over by various companies afterwards. It takes netlists from Orcad SDT/386 which also works great under XP, using the GDI drivers. It does all I need and has almost no bugs. This is a great package, 1995 vintage, which I still use, under windows XP (doesn't work under win7-64).
