Anyone know how much a single user licence would be for Solidworks?

Friend was on about a demo he'd seen at work and was gona as his boss for a copy. I looked it up out of intrest and couldn't see a price so was wondering how much it was as all the sites say email/phone for a quote.

Guess its not something joe public like me can play with.

lol I was thinking if it was anything like some of the versions of AutoCAD, then you're looking to at least 2K :eek:

Seems I underestimated hehe

Because companies will pay that for it.

Oh, so it's not like a home thing then? Just companies.
