Ha...I read too fast the first time...now its even more confusing! So if you want to continue to use it, don't renew...but doing so forfeits the right to upgrade Max or Maya? That doesn't make any sense. Please tell me this an error. Everyone that is a paid customer should get transitioned to either one and always be able to run Softimage. I agree this needs to be revised.
