    Help!!! UG License? Temp? Cheap?

    Hey Guys,
    I got a question for you all and I am not sure if this is the right section to post this under or not.

    Right now my company is attempting to hire 3 more tool designers and they need to walk in the door with Unigraphics experience. We came up with the idea (after a lot of struggling as some of you know) to train them on UG out of our pocket. We ordered the online training package for the first guy and it turns out that it doesn't come with access to UG. All we got was a tutorial on how to use UG and in the tutorial it asks you to open UG and follow the steps provided!!! Not Ideal!!
    My question is does any one know of a cost effective way to get someone access to UG for 15-30 days on their computer? We looked into purchasing a license and it was $12,000. We cannot justify that cost and since we are a staffing firm we don't have access to the clients licenses.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated


    Thanks,
    Brent V

    Have you looked into any community colleges in the area? Many of them teach NX.
    Contact Siemens and see if they know any schools that have NX and maybe you can work something out.

    No it is not cheap and expecting to get access to a $25,000 license of software by simply buying a on-line training package is not reasonable to expect.
