Re: Altium Usage?

And, it's way too expensive to consider buying a permanent license for myself, so using it now and getting hooked would likely just be a disappointment later on when I don't have access to it anymore.
Eric,

I'd like to second Dave's concerns here.

For most of us, we don't want to train our teammates on something that won't be available to us in the forthcoming years. Autodesk, pretty much, lets us know before the season starts which tools we will have available to FIRST teams for the coming year (Information about the awards starts in September ... I believe). If Altium is known to be available for next year then many of us would start building skillsets with Altium within the team.
