Autodesk Offers 2002 Retirements $125 Rebate

Posted on Tuesday, January 03, 2006 9:14 AM

Autodesk is offering rebates through their reseller channel to customer with AutoCAD 2002-based products. The 2002-class products are facing forced retirement, which means Autodesk will no longer officially support or upgrade those products.

According to Forbes Magazine, all upgrades for all 2002-class products are eligible for a $125 rebate. The promotion runs through January 27, 2006.

Stock analyst firm Piper Jaffrey reported the rebate to Forbes, using it as the reason why it gives Autodesk an “outperform” stock rating.

Upgrade for what.....fundamentally a 2D CAD program that I never should have purchased in the first place....When they put their 3D parametric modeling code in their $2,700 base package I'll consider it. Untill then this package can die a slow death. And they wonder why they have lost so much of there user base to Solidworks and Pro Engineer, wake up AutoDesk.
