Weird. AFAIK there's no difference 'rights wise' between both accounts.
But correct me if I'm wrong ;-)
Biggest difference is the linking to the online stuff and the Modern
apps Store with the Win8 login.
It could be that the Win8 login is even more strict in security measures?

Hi
A bit late to this discussion.
But i had the exact same problem with an even older Softimage version
(v7.1), when i had the brilliant idea to switch my Local Windows account to
a Microsoft account login.
When i started with win8 i created a local account and everything worked in
softimage as
Update: Softimage 7.5 32bit on win7 x64 works.
Thanks for making me give it another try, Luc-Eric.
I re-installed Softimage 7.5 32 bit using the web installer on xin7 x64:
Autodesk_Softimage_7.5_English_Japanese_WIN_32bit.exe
I updated my License File with the new file provided by Autodesk
For opening SI|3D files using Softimage 7.5 32bit:
One way would be to use Windows 7´s XP mode and use that 32bit XP
to install Softimage 7.5 32bit (which has the SI|3D scene import option).
Setting that VM´s RAM to ~4GB.
I just did this using the 30 days trial (Standalone mode) of Softimage
Hi Luc-Eric,
I couldn´t get Softimage 7.5 32bit to run on win 7 64bit. The install
went through
but Softimage wouldn´t start on my machine, regardless of which
compatibility
options I tried to run it with. Could be I missed something.
Also, the installer didn´t register with Add/Remove
Hi guys,
after checking through a random selection of *.scn files, I am somewhat
positive
I´ll be able to open most if not all of my files with Softimage
2012/2014/2015.
When I was refering to *.obj/*.fbx files, I didn´t mean to suggest that

the prefered archive format, even
l was just supporting what others have already said.
xsi was certified for Windows Xp, but a few months later when vista came
up, you could not click buttons on the message boxes (ex: would you like
to save the scene?), rectangle select broke, several features failed to
work due to folder
Some of us don't have the luxury of changing anytime soon

Luxury? It's a lot of work to transition to another package, and
particularly painful if you choose Maya.
Obviously we all very particular job situations, but still you must agree
third party development for xsi will eventually stop..

With the exception of red shift I expect zero development

I don't know.. just installed XSI

Maybe I missed something, (that I should've done for it to not

but Install went fine, no button click or other interface issues,

Hum, then perhaps it was a Vista
thing? Because I had no problem clicking any type of

And to be fair, (in XSI4.2 on Win8) selecting nothing specifically

Unfortunately there is still not a good enough universal interchange format to
remove the requirements to keep old versions going.

Well Virtual PC, the one MS bought from Connectix at some point, is
already dead.
You can run it on Win7 with some tricks, but it is EOL since mid 2008 or
so. It was replaced with the HyperV tech (Server or Win8 desktop only
btw...).
My best bet would be, future wise, is the 'open source'
Just to be clear, I don´t want to portray Adsk as evil, I am bitching
about the
extra hurdles involved in finding the service packs to a specific release´s
version and making sure all files neccessary are downloaded and named
properly.
In my personal case, I can pretty savely assume Softimage
Virtual PCs work for now, and so does keeping archives of files around for
the interim. One problem you may run into is expiration date of your
licenses. I ran into this problem with my older XSI licenses. While
Softimage called them 'permanent' licenses, they're actually 10-13 year time
Matt, I have to ask.
What could you possibly have from the Softimage 3D days that you'd want to
recover? No cynicism, just genuinely curious. :)
Even things that I created and thought were amazing back then, I could (and
would) re-make in days and to a far higher standard with modern tools.
Basically my entire art portfolio is in Softimage|3D.
When the torch was passed from Softimage|3D to Softimage|XSI, I made the
transition from animator to TD/programmer. I only did artwork in XSI until
v3.0. Majority of the work I've done since has been scripting/programming
and teaching.
Interesting, thanks.

I would certainly make sure I have a copy of Softimage in a Windows 7
VM like you mention, which I would archive and keep a backup copy
off-site . Never update that copy of Windows, never work with it
except to get assets out.
Point noted, but I wouldn't use Softimage 2010 as a benchmark because it was
a poor release full of temperamental glitches and regressions. I recently
installed Softimage 7.5 on windows 7 64-bit so I could review the SI3D

Hi guys,
how do you guys prepare for the time after Softimage 2015 and how do
you guys cope with files dating back to legacy versions of Softimage XSI,
like from old XSI Foundation files, Softimage XSI version pre 7.5 and so on?
