Leasing 3DS Max to own

#1 Call up the reseller and ask for a quote. Some resellers can offer better rates than others so you arent going to get a good estimate of cost unless you talk to the one assigned for you area.

#2 I never heard of there being leasing licenses for 3ds though. Is that something new? Autodesk doesn't seem to mention it on their site, and I'm pretty sure my regular license explicitly state that renting/leasing is forbidden, ruling out some sort of "special deal" this particular reseller may try to arrange. It's very possible something have changed quite recently though, Autodesk is currently messing some with the licenses and how they work... =)

Leasing software in general tend to not be too favorable though, you usually end up paying more than if you would have just forked over the cash for a real license after just a couple of months.

#3 Well, you can get a Dell card and purchase it through them, I think the payments are roughly about a $105 or so.

#4 @ LF:

Yes I'm waiting on my quote right now.

@ Mag:

Well when I saw that Novaedge had a payment plan for 3DS Max that was only for Businesses I started to call their other Resalers and asked if they offered something similar and thats when she told me about the Leasing offer.

@Morrie:

Well they said nothing about a dell card but if the payments are 100$ a month i'd laugh and cry cause I could have gotten this long ago.

#5 You would be better off just getting your bank to finance it. Like via a personal line of credit etc.

The rates should be better.

#6 Or, just get a regular low-interest credit card, and then play the "switch cards" game every time the low rate expires.
