I have always been interested in the origins of the all you can eat pricing model. I believe we at Racal-Redac were the first to propose it to a customer. The customer was Norden Systems (part of United Technologies) in Connecticut. The year would have been about 1991, long before Avant! existed. Jeff Holden was the sales manager whose team came up with the idea. I apologize to the others on the team who came up with the idea. Cadence was the competition and I believe they copied our proposal. I'm pretty sure we won a good bit of both the CAD and CAE business with this innovative proposal. Dan
