The Buy Description is shown as a Renewal Purchase: CNC Software License Renewal The Line Item Details/Criterea for Item Id 1 are shown as a New purchase: FeatureCAM - Premium 2020 Government New Single-user ELD 3-Year Subscription - (FeatureCAM Preferred But Not Required) 1 EA Your Prior Response states the following: The Buy is being extended. This requirement is just for a license renewal. This is not a complete new product request. Based upon the information within this Buy #1035414, it is unclear if it is identified as a Renewal or a New purchase. Our assumption is that in lieu of a "Renewal", the New New Single-user ELD 3-Year Subscription that we quoted will be assigned to same User as the existing FeatureCAM Premium and allow for 3 years of use. Since it is specified within the line item that it is to be a New Single-user license, then that is what our quote is for. *Please be aware that you have requested a single-user configuration, which requires internet connectivity for installation and licensing purposes. Also, the product configuration (and offering) of FeatureCAM has changed since back when the original purchase of Premium was made by the customer. Please note that FeatureCAM Premium (and Ultimate) is now included within the Fusion 360 - with FeatureCAM single-user 3-Year Subscription that we quoted. Our existing quote meets the Line item description that you provided (New): FeatureCAM - Premium 2020 Government New Single-user ELD 3-Year Subscription - (FeatureCAM Preferred But Not Required) 1 EA Please update, or provide more info pertaining to this.

Buyer will not be extending at this time. This purchase is strictly for a renewal only. The confusion may be because this is a separate government purchase that is classified as a new requirement only for the government's sake, and not for the product itself.

We are interested to provide a quote for Buy #1035414. We we’re informed by AutoDesk that in early 2020 they discontinued the sales of FeatureCAM with single-user deployment. It was replaced with Fusion 360 - with FeatureCAM single-user, which is a cloud solution that is not certified for FedRAMP. Could you please help us reach out to the buyer and ask them if they would accept the quote FUSION 360- with FeatureCAM single-user? Also, can you please request to extend and remove the 30 days pricing validity?

Please note that there are two options provided by the vendor. Please review below and let us know which one do you want. "In early 2020, Autodesk discontinued the sales of new FeatureCAM software with single-user deployment. It was replaced with Fusion 360 - with FeatureCAM single-user, which is a cloud solution that is not certified for FedRAMP. Also, the “single-user’ (standalone) software requires an internet connectivity for software installation and to “ping” the Autodesk system (2-ways) for validation every 30 days. Our experience with other USAF/DoD customers has indicated that this is not a viable option to ping the internet or having any outside connectivity requirements. For this reason, most customers purchase the multi-user option, which is not a cloud solution and does not require internet connectivity to operate the software."

In order for us to provide you pricing we would need some additional information such as…. • Customer info: First/Last name, email, U.S business address, U.S phone number. • Licenses info: Is this a renewal? If so, please provide me the Autodesk contract number or CSN number. (This is linked to the licenses themselves.) If this is a net new request would this be a single user or multi user?
