Dear Mr. Patel:
I don't like responding to 'business' posts but this is a little odd. So
you're saying that the work of the Singapore team will only be enjoyed
by people who are already Softimage users and no new licenses for
hobbyists/students (like me) are allowed?
Is there some legal reasoning behind not allowing new users to purchase
new licenses before the March 28th deadline? I graduate in a couple of
months and I would very much like to have the ability to use Softimage
on my own by getting my own license after my educational license
expires. Is this no longer possible?
Yours sincerely,
Siew Yi Liang

Autodesk will stop selling Softimage licenses to customers on March 28th (which
is when the new 2014 price list goes into effect for all Autodesk products
worldwide).
Basically there will no longer be any Softimage SKUs in that price list.
- Softimage 2015 will be delivered to all customers who have purchased
Softimage prior to that date and who are on Subscription.
- After March 28th, existing customers who are not on Subscription, will
be able to upgrade their Softimage licenses to the Maya+Softimage or 3ds
Max+Softimage bundle
- After March 28th, existing customers will be able to purchase
additional seats (or rental plans) of those bundles if they need extra capacity
- As a result a customer who does not already own a Softimage license
will not be able to buy Softimage 2015

Softimage 2015 will be released at April 14 but the announcement says that we
cannot purchase standalone licences as of march 28.
I don't get it. Does it mean the new version won't be available for new
costumers the same time it will be released?
What about upgrading existing floating licences when you are not on
subscription? I'm using 2011 (NLM, no SAP). Can I upgrade to Softimage2015
(NLM) AFTER march 28?
