What if you're on a suite which includes Softimage? Will you also be
forced into a subscription which does not allow use of past versions of
Softimage?

this stupid decision they made.
/Please note that the right to use the Softimage license will
terminate at the end of the transition period if you are still on
Subscription. You will be transitioned to the latest release of either
3ds Max or Maya depending on your initial choice. If you want to
continue to use your Softimage license after Feb 1, 2016 you should
not renew your Subscription contract for a period beyond that date.
You will be able to continue to use Softimage but will forfeit any
future updates to either 3ds Max or Maya. /

Yep. Or $4495 for a workstation license and then $2495 per year. For a
minute there it looked like Autodesk was doing something half
reasonable with the free transition offer to Softimage + Maya. But
then I saw that accepting that means that I would not be allowed to
use Softimage at all after February 2016. I'm not even sure what
Autodesk gains from that.

For a company that relies entirely on Softimage, that decision is not
a cheap one. Houdini is 7000$ for a floating license plus 4000$ per year!

In two years when Bifrost will be nearing maturity, Maya will become
a lot more appealing if you stay on subscription. Be kind with your
bean counter.
just sayin.
