Any software company should be throwing licenses at the top relevant youtubers in their field, its dumb not to. |

I understand that's the case for some tools, but question whether it's the case for Altium? Forgive me. I've not done PCB design for years. --- End quote --- Where are you going to hire someone for $5k per year? Its not worth an extra person no, maybe 5-20% of your PCB time or something. --- End quote --- Offshore to India? Thanks. I thought it was more than that. |

Currently it's about 2k USD per year, but I'm sure those who own multiple seats can negotiate better prices. Even I got 20% off renewal price without any real haggling - simply asked the rep if she can get any discount for me, and she did. |
