So, we recently released a new trial that works on 25 saves instead of 30 days.  So if you only need to do a very occasional conversion, it might work better for you. 
 
Subd -> Nurbs conversion has several potential gotchas.  That said, I think there's 3 packages that do it that I'm aware of - Maya, T-Splines, and Catia Imagine & Shape.  Perhaps SDlib?  I've never been able to find an I&S user to talk to about the quality of the conversions.  The T-Spline conversions don't handle creasing very well at the moment.  Maya has problems with valence 6 and higher.  I'd imagine the SDlib conversion is similar to Maya's, I think it's the same author.
