Nah. Everything moved to subscription. All my FEA, Cad Cam software are multiple thousands per year. Example... Mastercam is 4k per year. It’s all crap as nothing has been improved in decades. The best deal on the market now is Autodesk Fusion. I get it free as I am a beta tester. But even if not a subscription is only $1400 a year. But my customers demand crap expensive software.
