That just made no sense.
But in other news, we were about to get charged £400 more for a yearly 3Ds MAX subscription because it was automatically renewed. I'm saying MORE because it was rolling over at the old price we originally subscribed at and during the last year it became 400 quid cheaper. No discount if you don't notice it!
Luckily for us my boss recently changed his bank card prior to the renewal and they couldn't charge us, so we still saved the money by having to order a new license anyway. But beware, if things get cheaper - the savings won't be passed on to you (confirmed by the license agreement and the representative I spoke to regarding the issue).
