Hi Maurice,
I know you are in a very difficult situation with a lot of angry XSI users.
It is a sad day for us here since been using since the early 1990 but
didn't upgrade when Autodesk bought XSI so we are still using Version 7.1
due to number of circumstances.
Is there a chance for us to upgrade to Softimage/XSI 2014 at this time?
We are in a very difficult position since we have a lot of assets in XSI.
Thanks for you time.

Hi Eric,
Yes you will. Service packs and hot fixes are provided to all customers whether
they are on Subscription or not. It is only extension releases that were
exclusive to Subscription customers

Maurice,
I am on maintenance through April of this year. If I choose not to upgrade my
license because I do not want to lose my perpetual license, will I be entitled
to the mentioned service pack(s) hotfixes, and beta participation for said
packs? How is that supposed to work?

Hi Sven
Yes you can upgrade. The price list will contain upgrade paths to either
bundle. These will be at standard upgrade price rates though (not for free). As
was mentioned on a previous thread next year those will go away too - but for
all Autodesk products

Maurice,
It is still unclear to me. Is it possible to upgrade an existing perpetual
network/floating license from previous versions to version 2015 (perpetual
+network/floating license). Without any subscription or bundles?

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?
