Reply to me off line if you cannot disclose in the forum... 
I am trying to write my own CAD tool justification and much of this information is not readily available... I was hoping my fellow designers could help me with this. 
:) 
 (IPC has nothing to do with this... it's just me.)

Subject: Re: [DC] What does it cost to own the CAD tool you use?

Here are some thoughts about categories of costs associated with owning a EDA CAD tool... others? 

CAD tool costs: (approximate in USD)

Initial price per seat = ?
Additional software    = ?
Training               = ?
Computer and OS        = ?
Designer to operate    = ? 
CAD libraries          = ?
Maintenance            = ?

Unplanned costs        = ?
Time to first board    = ?
