Rich,

        You are correct, the early adopter release is currently free to use, though they want feedback on what you think about it. The next question is how much are they going to charge us for this extension to a free tool? I'll admit it's worth a couple of bucks just due to the reverse engineering capability they built in, although IF I were a CA employee working on ERWIN I don't think I'd worry too much. My biggest gripe about the tool is that it doesn't like to center diagrams on an A4 or larger sheet of paper from a plotter. Sure they can fix that.

According to the FAQ, it's a "cost option":

Perhaps this doesn't apply to the standalone early adopter version...
