Hello Metin,
>>>>€ 400 - € 500 per month for a piece of software?!
Yes! And you need some other software to work for the automotive industry -> DDX, Q-Checker, SAP ....
But, the calculation for the costs are a little bit different. e.g. If you work 100h/month with it, you will pay 5€/h. Some industries have a complete toolchain from the draft/design to all follwing processes like production, quality managment, order, reliability managment, ..... -> PLM. A typical engineer in automotive costs 55-80€ per hour. A small project cost 500.000€ with 1000h-1500h catia(typical 1-1,5 years development time), a SAP license 2500€/year ...
The company I was working for, had up to 500 floating licenses ...
I agree with you, that's a lot of money, but it helps to see it as fixed cost like you have for a milling machine or a CNC-lathe.
Have a nice day
Karsten
