Just curious.

It's one of those "if you need to ask the price, you can't afford it

Part of our business (about 300 souls) got sold off to a management buyout.
Because Dassault wouldn't allow 6 licenses to be transferred, a deal was done
whereby the draftsmen still work for us. They are paid for entirely by the
sold off business and only do work for them... go figure.

Ah, so it's not only our American software assholes, the French have
the software assholes, too.
