Creo IC-307 Professional Power Kit vs Standard

[Prestohps]

After 2 years of working with the our Creo 307 KM C8000 combo we are looking to update from the standard to the Professional Power Kit version of the rip software. Main reason is to get the spot variation feature. We would like to do so without involving our local supplier. Any suggestions or sources?

This is just a USB dongle key that you plug in the back, do a restart and it's activated. We are a KM dealer and I know this option should not cost you more than $5K retail. You can have your supplier quote it and tell them you know their cost is about $3500 and try to get the best price from them. Or, if you're into trying this, you might be able to find it through online shopping. Or, who knows, maybe someone will respond to this thread and offer to sell you one! Good luck...
