I'm currently using CM and overall I'm happy with it. Due to the nice promotion discount right now for CS I'm considering buying it. I'm just a hobbyist, but I don't have any problem investing in good software. I have been looking around, watching videos, etc. but I cannot seem to find answer to the following questions:
1. Other than the local vs cloud storage (and requiring designs to be open, which does not bother me), what does CS give me over CM? I have been unable to find a comparison between CM and CS. Is there such a document, and/or what are the main differences?
2. If I purchase CS I believe I get updates for a year, after which time I would need to purchase the annual maintenance licenses (which seem to cost $150) to continue to get updates. However, sometimes I don't need to make a PCB for over a year (or two). So what happens if I buy CS now and in two years want to get an update? At that point does purchasing the maintenance license get me updated to the latest version, plus the one year of updates? Or will I have to purchase multiple maintenance licenses for each missed year?
Thanks,
Matthew
