Altium product manager Rob Irwin commented that this fee structure was closer to the license fees users expect for FPGA or embedded software tools than what ASIC designers, for instance, might expect.
This certainly lowers the entry fee for this style of design. The cost of the NanoBoard has also dropped from $2500 to $1995. After the first year the support charge is $1500 annually per license. A single-user perpetual license now costs $3995, including one year of support. For the first time the company is offering an individual license for $195 US per month on a 12-month contract. This week Altium, in a further effort to proselytize their idea, announced a rather drastic price cut for several forms of their tool license. Once the design is working on Altium’s FPGA-based target board, the NanoBoard, there is a direct path to a manufacturable PCB design. By dealing with the mechanics of implementing a platform more or less automatically, the Altium folks claim, they free designers to concentrate on the functional blocks that actually differentiate the design. The third section is titled "Analyze data." The third section says, "Use AWS and third-party services to analyze your data to gain insights." Nearby icons show ways of analyzing data: "artificial intelligence (AI)," "advanced analytics," and "machine learning (ML).The folks at Altium have spent some time now pitching their unique idea for electronics system design: a top-down, drag’n'drop approach that offers the user a huge pool of processor, function, and connectivity IP and software, which the Altium Designer tool assembles into a waiting FPGA more or less before your eyes. The features are "Control access to data," "Optimize cost with storage classes," "Replicate data to any Region," "Access from on-premises or VPC," "Protect and secure your data," and "Gain visibility into your storage." The second section also has icons that show Amazon S3 features. Upload any amount of data." A nearby illustration shows a bucket that contains a square, a circle, and a triangle. The second section has more text under the heading "Store data." The text says, "Create bucket, specify the Region, access controls, and management options. The second section is titled "Amazon S3." The second section says, "Object storage built to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere."
The second section has an illustration of an empty bucket. The first section is titled "Move data." The first section says, "Move your data to Amazon S3 from wherever it lives – in the cloud, in applications, or on-premises." Nearby icons show different types of data: "analytics data," "log files," "application data," "video and pictures," and "backup and archival." The first section has an illustration of a database, a server, and a document. Three sections display from left to right. The diagram shows how to move data to Amazon S3, manage stored data in Amazon S3, and analyze data with other services.
