CAD Research Inc.

Autodesk recently announced the retirement of AutoCAD 2006 and AutoCAD 2006-based products.

The industry is changing rapidly. Innovation is the key to staying ahead of the competition. The ability to visualize and simulate the performance of the projects before you build is a big step toward securing the competitive advantage. To help you keep your edge, Autodesk is currently offering significant discounts on upgrades from Autodesk 2006 software to 2009 versions of Autodesk products.

** Autodesk will stop selling upgrades and crossgrades from AutoCAD 2006 based products after March 13, 2009

As Technology has advanced and the challenges facing engineering organizations have become increasingly complex, it's time to look beyond Land Desktop to new technology that better addresses the demands of today's engineering organizations. As a result, AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009 products will be the last release of Land Desktop software.

From July 8, 2008 through April 17, 2009, eligible AutoCAD Land Desktop 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 customers can crossgrade to AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Civil, or AutoCAD Civil 3D for a special promotional price!!!!
