![]() That’s the signature of our success, quite frankly. You’ve been around us long enough to know that whatever I say today will change by the time we hang up the call. They tell me there’s another one slated to be released, but I’m hesitant to say the name because you know how Altium works, Andy. Today there are two levels available: standard and pro. Romine: That’s an interesting question, Andy. Shaughnessy: How would you break this down?

First and foremost are software updates, so that’s one component of it. So, subscription now has three pillars to it, if you will. Now with the introduction of Altium 365, we needed to repackage what we call the subscription, and that’s what we’ve done.

It goes back about to the 2010 timeframe when we launched our online community of AltiumLive-not the event, but AltiumLive, the online community. It’s interesting, Andy, we’ve used the term “subscription” for many years now. You announced a comprehensive, new subscription plan for your software tools.
