In view of the fact that V12 should be along in just a few months, you would be updating twice in short order.

You should wait.

you will definitely pay for two upgrades, not just one. The price seems to vary year by year.

I did not think AC11 was any more buggy than any other version has been.

Unless there's some subscription option that covers the period. Check with your reseller.

A two-step upgrade will cost more than a one-step in North America.

AC 11 as of build 1114 is stable and usable and I would not hesitate to recommend it over AC 10 for the power and productivity of the additional features.

I was not that impressed with the new features of 11 on paper until I actually did a project with it. Big jump in productivity over 10, for me at least.

Even if 12 arrives in May/June, whatever 12 months from the 11 delivery works out to, if it follows in the footsteps of 10 and 11, you won't really want to use it until the first or second hotfix is released, so why not get productive with 11 in the meantime? I suppose the real cost would be the difference between two one-step upgrades and one two-step one...or signing up for 'subscription'...

Cheers,
Karl

There are subscriptions that cover two years, but not ones that you can buy retroactively. If this person were already on subscription, they would already have AC11.

You would have to upgrade to AC11 THEN buy a 2-year subscription (getting 12 and 13).

I agree that you should upgrade if finances permit, considering the way the upgrade system works.

The main benefit of staying with AC10 and then jumping straight to AC12 is that you'll have one less library folder to deal with. ':D'

One less menu structure to relearn too if you go straight to v12.
