Photo Rendering email mistake?

I recieved an email from Alibre through the amail address I have Xpress registered on.

It shows Home and Hobby version has the Photorender. :shock: I have the Alibre full and this is not a feature but an addon. Was this a mistake? Sould it have noted it as an option? Isn't the Home and Hobby version the same thing as the Full version?

Hmmmmmm.

No mistake, Tim - the full price of the Home & Hobby version is greater than that of Vanilla AD.

Interesting. I got the same email showing that too.
When I purchased the Pro package, PhotoRender was not available in the Basic package, but now they are making it available as a standard feature in the Home & Hobby package?

Also, is the H&H package replacing the Basic package?

As far as I can tell, based on the web pages on Alibre.com that are really linked together, Home and Hobby is somewhere between AD Basic and AD Pro. Basically, with H&H, you get Photorender but not the repository or sheet metal, I think.

If I can find the links I'll post them.

When did Alibre change their packaging scheme, again?

I remember it being Basic (Standard), Pro, and Expert - then Express was thrown in below Basic. Based on the link above, it is now Express, Home & Hobby, Pro. But of course, expert still remains.

Based on the read, it appears that there are a total of 5 AD packages available for purchase to find the one that fits your need. Amazing, but confusing.

None-the-less, some smoking deals going on if it is time to buy more seats by the end of January.

OK...Alibre Design (basic) is a small list price difference than Home and Hobby but without the PhotoRender option.

I see there is $95 price difference in the list price even though the Home and Hobby is on sale for the same sale price as the standerd Design was. :? And the addon for me to get Photrender is $100 or $5 more than if I got the Home and Hobby version at full price.

If it's not one promotion, it's another. Don't look back

Alibre needs to expand its base as rapidly as possible. We'll all gain from this, up to a point...

Well unless I have missed this earlier, here is another promotion I just noticed:

While restrictions(*) do apply, 3 years?....

As Miles noted:
