I feel your pain info mail bag. It sometimes feels like the peripheral hassles of licensing etc are outweighing the benefits of using Nuke. The licensing model is so antiquated that it’s an impediment to using it if you are a small shop or freelancer and it’s going to start hurting them more

As much as all these annoyances are valid, I do feel the need to play the devils advocate here. Nuke wasn't designed for freelancers and shouldn't be treated as such. It was made for use in a studio. So when you bring the software on set or out of the house, you'll have to work around that

Cloud-based licensing and/or software distribution is a complete no-go for any studio working on a lot of major features. The new security requirements that have been imposed on vendors by some of the major studios are extremely unforgiving. I really hope we don't see VFX software heading

Hi Elias, I don't think anybody was talking about streaming Nuke, or at least, that wasn't my understanding. The discussion was about simpler license models, like Adobe's, for example. You can install their software on as many computers as you want, and have the license work on no more than two at
