Feature CAM Seat For Sale

jayathorn said:

I have a seat of Feature CAM with solid imports and feature recognition that I never use. I received it in a deal that I made to buy all of the equipment in a shop that was closing. It costs $300 to transfer the seat to a new persons name through Delcam which I did about 6 months ago along with purchasing one years maintenance.

I would like to sell it to someone who can use it as I already use Gibbs and don't want to learn a new software. If anyone is interested please send me a message to discuss details.

You are right and I just put in a call and waiting to hear back. I made the transfer of ownership to my business back in November but things may have changed, I will post here what they tell me.

I know they are switching over to a subscription based software instead of selling seats to customers next year but nothing will change for people that already own them is what I was told.

Curious how you transferred ownership. I was told (by Christian Briscoe) That selling FeatureCAM was in no way a legal possibility, and they absolutely would not provide any technical support for second-hand software.

Any ideas if that is just featurecam, or have you heard that about other softwares (cad/cam specific)? About 1.5 years ago my current company 'bought' mastercam from their 'sister' company (strange deal all-around ). I think there was some mumbo-jumbo with the legal team, but not too much bother.

Is there any reason the software could not be sold "as is"? The buyer might not ever be able to update it or get any support, but it still would be usable wouldn't it?

I kind of put this on the backburner until I talked to Featurecam. I was told that I was able to transfer it because the shop closed that was using it, and also that they would let me transfer ownership for $300 if I sold it just like they did for me. My maintenance package ends in August so I am going to try to sell it before then, please let me know if anyone is interested.

As wheelieking71 pointed out, Featurecam is very much alive. However, Delcam/Autodesk did discontinue development of Delcam for Solidworks (DFS) - originally started out as a Featurecam for Solidworks project and many users still viewed it that way given the many similarities in the interface. Currently, I believe Delcam is trying to move users of DFS to Featurecam.
