Repeat thread.

As pointed out in the other thread - the software included here has licenses that expire in 1 year. Unless you plan to upgrade yearly this is a dud deal.

Yeah, this is a good deal for me. I signed up for this a while back and they very quickly sent out the kit. It's been great. And yeah the license only lasts a year and costs $299, but the renewal price is only $199!! That's a heck of a deal, IMO.

Anyway, I know this is a repeat thread, but I didn't know if the comment about the renewal price being lower than the start-up price had ever been made.
