I saw those dates, but I'm a new user and I was not sure, if the program
itself also is actual. In our company we use a cad-system which also is
"actual" (with new date, we even pay license) but was not developped the
last years and it will die the next time.

I just looked some minutes ago where I found them, but I'm sorry: I
didn't find them again :-)
