Re: autodesk subscription

Christoph Muetze wrote this in an email to the list March 10th 2014:

"Read carefully what Maurice wrote:

--

1.  You make the transition and let your subs expire before April 30th
2016.
In this case you will retain the right to use both Softimage 2015 and
whatever version of Maya you were on at the time your contract expires in
perpetuity.

2.  You make the transition, remain on Subscription after April 30th
2016, but choose not to install any future versions of Maya after that
date. In this case you would also be able to keep both your Maya and
Softimage versions frozen in perpetuity if you wish to. It is only on
installing software that you have to accept a new license agreement. Any
licenses that you have purchased are yours in perpetuity and are only
replaced on installing new software.

3.  You make the transition, remain on Subscription after April 30th
2016, and install a new version of Maya after that date. In this case the
new license will replace the transition bundle license and will be Maya
only. Previously that meant losing access to Softimage. With the changes we
have just made you will now be able to access Softimage via Subscription in
the same way as you can access prior versions today.

Technically I believe you are supposed to have active subscription if 
you want to continue to use previous versions of Softimage and not just 
your most current version.

autodesk subscription

[Dave Gallagher Softimage]

Hello! Maybe this goes without saying but is there any reason to be on 
maintenance for Softimage at this point?


I let it lapse because there are no updates. I just want to make sure 
since I got this warning email. And the resellers are completely 
clueless about Softimage.


• 	Our records indicate that on Contract 11594901, there is 1 seat 
that has expired 	
	• 	Before January 31, 2016, the cost to renew this seat is 
approximately $850 USD 	
	• 	After January 31, 2016 you will not be able to renew this license, 
and the estimated cost to purchase a new seat will be $5,950 USD

Re: autodesk subscription

[Matt Morris]

I thought everyone owning a softimage licence was offered either maya or
max plus softimage? In which case it might be worth renewing it for access
to those.

My understanding of it, is we can coming to use Softimage and Maya 2015 
but once you stop the subscription you have to pay

for a full license.

Re: autodesk subscription

[Eric Turman]

2015 licenses are still perpetual and, as I understand it, Maya 2016
too...This is corroborated by the fact that I have not given any more money
to Autodesk and I still have use of my license for Soft and Maya.

I was told by Barry at VCA that (at least my softimage license) is permanent 
but if I want to continue with a license to Maya, I would need to renew.

Re: autodesk subscription

Depends on if you have Creative Suite or just a Softimage license. If you
have a CS you might want to keep getting access to Maya etc.

Autodesk Subscription Software - what a feeling

Getz feels about drive thru's..
