Thanks for that advice, Ralph. That becomes a workable solution for me. Incidentally, that is the same way I manage my OnQue software license, a month here, a month there, activated only when I have billable work that requires their software. They make money when I make money.

I am sad to report that this tip works only temporarily. Android sets it up the thumbnail folder again with the next time photos are taken or images added to the phone. The solution, quite frankly, is to buy a new, mid-range phone with huge memory. For instance, I got a three-year-old ASUS Zenfone Zoom with 128GB built-in for $300 from Staples.ca for my dad.

I can convert files for you, but i cannot give you a copy of the software. The AXD files are converted to DWG format.

It happened to me last week, and I wrote this tip! My cordless keyboard's trackpad was acting up, just could not control the cursor. Then I realized that the nanoreceiver, which I had attached to the end of a USB extension cable, had gotten behind the DVD player. The player is made of metal, so it block the transmission of data between keyboard and receiver.

I find the 8GB i sufficient for my purposes, but it is good to know that we could bring the computer up to 16GB, as you found!

I have updated computers that are not critical to my business to Windows 10, so get the "free" operating system. But computers critical to my business stay on Windows 7, for the simple reason that some of the softeare I use to make me efficient at my work do not work on Windows 10 (or even on Windows 8). It makes no sense to "update" when the result is a downgrade..

Typepad HTML Email You are confusing license ownership with software ownership, which surprises me, given that you claim to "work in the channel." It is true that the software company owns the copyright on the software, sand o that is why it offers licenses that govern its use. Here is the difference: A permanent licenses allows the customer to use the software permanently: pay once, use forever (like a book or a car or a dining room table). A subscription limits the time during which the software can be used: fail to pay, don't get to use. This Autodesk policy (as well as other CAD vendors, such as PTC) is particularly nasty: should the licensee come into difficult times and not afford to pay the huge annual fee, he is no longer allowed to work in his field -- at least, not work with software from Autodesk. This is like a landlord kicking out tenants who that month cannot afford to pay the rent after 30 days (Autodesk policy is the same: your're out after 30 days).. Fortunately, alternatives exist.

Typepad HTML Email As you work in the channel, you will be biased in favor of Autodesk policies. You are comparing perm+maint with subs, instead of subs with perm only, as many of Autodesk's competitors offer. Autodesk no longer offers a permanent license, so they are out of the running.
