Awesome!
I looked at this package about a year ago. Thanks for sharing.

I am waiting for my licence.  It looks like it can be very handy.

I'll send off for mine first thing in the morning.

I wonder why they're offering it for free. When I called last year, it was over $600 for 1 license.

It was way too expensive - IMO.  Who is going to buy it for that price?

that's wut she said

Here's what I think happened,

"Hey boss, I got a new job and I'll be leaving in a couple weeks."
"What?  You can't do that!  You're the only one that knows this program!  You wrote it and we depend on you to support it!"
"Sorry man but this other job is too good to pass up."
"What do we do with the program then?"
"I don't care."
"I guess since we can't support it anymore, we'll just give it away for free.  In the meantime, we'll get all the leads we can so we can market to everyone that downloads it."

It didn't go quite like that.

Actually, its a way for us to show off our add-on capabilities, gather user info and hopefully build a good business relationship with a broader group of users.
We're glad many of you are excited about our release of EE ProPack CADMgr for free.
Please let us know what you think about the application.
