Q: I am about to purchase VirtualCrash 5, and I want to see if anyone has any thoughts they would be willing to share with me.
Any thoughts?
A: Only suggestion is why drop $$$ ($5000 or so?) on a purchase of the program (or pc-crash, which is equivalent) which then when the next version comes out, you have buy it AGAIN for $$$ (ok, they discount a wee bit) etc. etc. etc.
We at McHenry Software started lease/subscription which allows you to try it for 3, 6 or 12 months at a low lease rate ($500 for 3 months) and then once the lease it up, lease again for same time or longer or wait and do it again later.
Basically, you ONLY pay when using it and ALWAYS are using the latest version. We can do all the instantaneous momentum programs can BUT we also do actual simulation of the crash and rollover forces.
- See our many topics Simplified Momentum Analysis, pc-crash, virtual crash
FYI in 2024 we are probably going to discontinue the lease program for new users
- We will go back to our prior pricing and annual maintenance which is equivalent to what the other vendors are doing.
If you've leased it, you can re-lease it forevermore! Questions, let us know
