Hi Ben,
I ran up an old copy of 8.1 and used it to generate some files. I have also created a set of instructions and zipped these up with the sample files. Get it here (it’s guaranteed virus free).

For some reason (& I only had a quick play), the ManufactureCode is not being exported so you/they may have to use the UserCode which CAN change if the item is resized. This is something you or they will have to play with and get round.
I do not recommend that you use the pricing embedded in 2020 Design as pricing changes frequently and also by materials – ideally, the pricing should be built into the software you are creating and you should give the client the option to update the pricing in your software. The quote option can hold up to 3 seperate price groups (although Design can hold much more than that).
Other than that, I really recommend that your client pays the annual maintenance – it is a tax deductable expense and totally worthwile. My main client has 24 seats and various add-on options inlcuding Applicaton Integration and has never batted an eyelid at the annual maintenance costs.
Hope this helps.
Mike
