I *had* used this tool for years. I came across it when I was trying to comprehend a rather large base of FORTRAN. It was the *only* tool that actually understood FORTRAN. So, I plopped my $400 down for a PERPETUAL license. Mind you, I am a single/dual person development company, so I have to spend my money wisely.

It does an excellent job, has good support, and the butterfly reports are amazing.

Then it went evil. If I wanted to continue to use it, it was $xxx/year for "support." Then it went utter evil - something like $2k/year for an annual subscription. If you have deep pockets, it's a good tool. I told them to pound sand.

Two keys for me: 1) if you sell me a license to use your software, don't elephant with me for more and more money. 2) There are cheaper alternatives out there (some may be free) if you are working with C or C++.

After thought: had I been thinking long term, I would have generated all of the reports and butterfly diagrams ahead of time. My bad.
