Ha! It will be a cold day in hell before I go back to modeling/rigging
in Maya.

Hello there Tim
I have nothing against the IT department, apparently, and from what i
have been told this lies more with the individual, who is notoriously
unhelpful, this is only my second day on the job so lets take that
with a pinch of salt, however My Lead requested politely that he
provide some means of contacting autodesk, given he being the head of
IT should in theory have at least some means of contacting them, to
which he answer "No I'm not going to bother navigating there fucking
website"
if you have used softimage in production you would doubtless realise
that one does not ease back so redely into maya. like using a hammer
when you are used to a scalpal i only ask for the right to use the
tool i purchased is this what it has come to? cause i think that if
this is so you can all pack in your notions that this package will endure.
as for my resellers, i bought on the official autodesk webpage for EU
and ireland.
I am an artist, my tool is softimage, i use it to model characters,
and i provide my own license, i should not have to be bulied into
another widely regarded as inferior in this domain package.
as for:
This is not obtuse but "boringly difficult to setup"
do you really think this is a valid excuse for a trained individual
not to do there Job ?
I have nothing against IT, but i just spent 6000 euro to relocate to
belgium for this compagny but since i had the temerity to but hope I
could use the software in which i am the most confortable i can just
fuck off?
I am a young artist, this may not seem much to other people but to me
its my career, i'm just trying to make my way.

Hi Sebastian,
be glad you have IT. Please understand the legal consequences for the
administrator when installing a software and making it available to
use (via the network) to others than the registered user.
By the book, it would indeed be neccessary to verify if this is a
license that has to be restricted in access, e.g. even if it is a
network license, it may only be legit to be used by the registered
individual but should not be available to other users and therefor
not show as a desktop link or in their start menu.
This is not obtuse but boringly difficult to setup and maintain in
a multi-person-multi-machine-pipeline and brings the risk of ending
up with files either unacessible to many or even illegal to edit.
I would think that your reseller should be able to provide proof of
purchase or at least help you with the license transfer to the machine
that will run the license server for the duration of that job.
The documented license transfer to the new machine/MAC ID could be
regarded as legit proof of purchase/usage. I would recommend asking
your reseller for a temp license, thought.
It would be easier to wrap the job without leaving the license behind.
Long story short, that´s hoops you have to go through due to
Autodesk´s
licensing policy and it would most likely be seen as helpful if
you would
support your IT guys and client in a calm and pro-active manner.
You could at least look into using Maya for the modeling, the
asset will
most likely have to be delivered flawlessly as a Maya scene file
anyway.
If you see benefits in using Softimage, make the benefit felt,
especially
if there are stupid licensing problems to start your job with...
Cheers,
tim

Hi Sebastien,
if you bought it in EU you can use it in
EU, no? thought the issue
was if it was US / EU usage. even then you
can grant a temporary
license to yourself to work away from the
'license server' for a month
at a time... am sure AD do not expect you
to buy two versions for
inside / outside EU , that would be
preposterous...
have you emailed Autodesk subscription /
licensing support?

Greeting good day good evening
everyone, Fellow Softimage users, my
name is
Sebastien Sterling, recently i
purchesed my own softimage license so
as i
was going to work for nWave digital a
Belgium feature film studio,
and that
i know of no better tool for the work
i do, mine is a character
modeling
position.
The place uses maya, but i was told
that if i was able to provide my
own
license that this should not be a
problem. however there seems to be
a
schism in the company. and the higher
up IT peoples stance is: they
require
confirmation from Autodesk that i can
use my my license in the this
company.
My question is this, has anyone ever
brought their softimage to work
for a
company ? if so how did this come
about...\
or
Alternatively, what would autodesks
stance be on this, as the issue
seems to
hinge on the leagle ramification of
package controls.
I love this package, i bought it, even
in these uneasy questionable
times,
and i love this community, please
guys, Help me !
