To me, the Either/Or thing stikes me as proof of relative sociopathic
philosophy.

Doesn't make it any less silly for us though, of course.

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.

My translation of it:

stop paying the Subscription. If you also want to continue
using Max or Maya that you have had the pleasure to try for
free for two years, you are welcome to buy a license. Thank
you for being a Autodesk Customer. Now please drop your pants
and bend over."/

I totally agree Arvid. I know I will need to revisit old
scenes and projects, and this totally shoots us in the
foot/ head.
This is a completely unacceptable move on the part of AD.
Let us keep our old licenses, AND migrate. What harm is
there in keeping the old licenses around?

Excuse me, but THIS IS BULLSHIT:
/"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." /
I can see how offering Maya/Max might be a parting
gift, but how can you deny the continued use of
Softimage after the two year transition period? No
fucking way in hell we'll just throw all of our data
from almost 10 years back into the lake, we'll need
the ability to open older Softimage projects INDEFINITELY.
Basically, there is absolutely NO way forward with
Autodesk at this pont, I have to keep access
available. Rethink, respond and change this policy
ASAP, thanks.
