Whats the chance of RobotStudio4 be available on an annual licence like RS5. I am finding that many of my customers would purchace this product if this was the case?

Many thanks

Hello Sturner.

There are no plans of changing RobotStudio for S4 (4.0) to be available for an annual license like RS5.
