There are different ways to buy Roboguide.
You can download a 30 day trial for free from Fanuc.
You can buy OLPC Pro which allows you to create and modify TP Programs but does not have a virtual robot for about $2000.
I think Handling Pro runs about $6000

What's not included on the 30 day trial?
and for the life of me, I cannot understand how the software is nearly half the price of a new robot. If it was at 4-5k I would buy it, but it's just ridiculous. Like everything else they charge for.
Also, I was quoted around $8k since I'm not an authorized integrator.
the trial is the full version. It has a license manager built in to it. After thirty days the license expires and you have to buy it from Fanuc.
PM me and I can give you more info.

Not sure, but it seems Fanuc likes to make it as hard as possible for (potential) customers to use their robots and software. Making things expensive is one of the easiest ways to do that.

I don't know where you live but my company is based in France and FANUC been kinda nice to us. We were given 2 Roboguide license for free (including vision plug-in) after we purchased our first robot.
I think it has more to do with which FANUC office you are dealing with than what type of customer you are.

True. I have same experience ...
How can I download the Roboguide free trial 30 days?
You can download it from the Fanuc CRC website but you need to be setup with an account with Fanuc.
If you own Fanuc robots you can contact them to set you up.
