Topic: LT Add-on, 3rd Party software

I think Bob and others are being very patient with you!

I did not realise that this was a club that you need to pass some kind of test!
 

I am now tongueless.

You are quoting a dead site from that time when it was trouble
that was part of the pay off deal that you have been suckered into believing.

This product is alive and well among others and your assumption and postings
are misinformed.

While watching this discussion, it appears that he has no valid argument. And as mentioned, just wants to create a fuss.

If one does has a valid point to make, they are always willing to back it up with facts.

IMHO,
craigr

What fact do you require?

I have already posted here more facts than this group can
absorb in a short space of time.

[It's Alive!]

I can absorb

[M-dub]

Not exactly a "people person" are you?

You've posted nothing but empty statements that you fail to backup with credible sources.  All you've done is flap your virtual gums with no substance.

I guess the only real way to answer the EULA question is to contact AD, and ASK THEM, because obviously, this is the question under the gun right now. The snide comments made from a certain poster are just opinions, and you know that opinions are like a$$^ol#s, everybodies got one.

In lew directly quoting Mr. Wengerd, his summation courtesy of Daniel puts things in a better perspective:

Indirect quote:
The internet is great for diligent researchers to find supported information, but also subject to legal advise by people who think they know what they're talking about.

It is kind of an obvious statement, but sometimes things need clarification.

Everyone knows the intent of LT was to provide a less robust version of AutoCAD to those with less than robust budgets.  Certain aspects of the applications were crippled to accomplish that goal.  If you need the full function software, buy it.

Integrity is doing the right thing, because it is the right thing to do.

So I wonder....

Is the price for LT getting closer to the price for the full version because of the 3rd part add-ons?

Will AutoDesk eventually quit with the LT product due to the 3rd part add-ons?

I know it is a stretch, but maybe worth thinking about.

I know that I would be frustrated if I made the two products & found that someone was circumventing my less expensive product to give it the abilities of my more expensive product.

Would Microsoft allow this?

True, but sometimes people just care about the $ signs... or have delusions that they're somehow "sticking it to the man" and self-justify themselves in whatever they do.

It's their product to sell.  They gotta make money to pay their employees.  What if your company suddenly decided to not charge enough to cover expenses or ensure longevity?

<applause>
Well put.

[craigr]

If you need the full function software, buy it.

Integrity is doing the right thing, because it is the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, more and more people don't believe that way.

The world has turned into 'ME FIRST' 'Right or wrong is for ME to determine'. Or 'It's not illegal if I don't get caught'.

Of course, I do not mean to point fingers at anyone particular. Just stating my opinion of society.

So instead of Adesk changing their software so these 3rd party apps can't be used they make you the bad guy by adding that statement to EULA. Oh yeah, that's integrity.
