I just want to share my experience. I was on the payment plan for future releases of Vue back when e-on/Bentley went through their little phase. Waiting for quarter after quarter for next year release of Vue was ridiculous. Let's not overlook the fact that these people funded the transition to the new subscription service off the backs of those who were waiting for the next year of upgrading. When I reached the end of my payment plan, they kept taking money out of my account. Was going through a lot then and didn't notice at first. When I did the math, they had taken something like a half a year more payments than they should've. They didn't want to refund the money, so I had to threaten social embarrassment online to get them to budge. On top of it all, the JA in charge over there denied he had anything to do with E-on, which was a straight up lie I caught him in. Then, when they finally coughed up the refund, they told me not to tell anyone--for obvious reasons.

If you paid many months into something for no good reason, only to be given one month of subscription under the new plan, you need to go back, do the math and demand they give you a straight dollar for dollar conversion or take them to court. Just saying.

I don't rent software anymore. Microsoft, E-on, and others are sniffing all the cash that Adobe is pulling in and they want some of the action. If we don't stop them now, they will have us by the curly hairs. Refuse to pay to rent software. It's the only hope we have. Solidarity!
