Hi Byron Yes, your Premium Suite will be automatically migrated to the Ultimate Suite with the next release. I can't be more specific yet on dates because we are not quite ready. Yes, the Ultimate Suite contains both Maya and 3ds Max and will also contain Softimage for 2 years after which it will be available as a prior version through Subscription.

Am I understanding it correctly that since we have a Maya Premium Suite now that includes Softimage, we will be upgraded to the Ultimate Suite at a later time? This would include a seat of Maya and Max, correct? When would that take place?

Beside upgrading just that license, can I expand that license to an advance with render nodes and do I have rent options after the end of March timeline?

You will be able to purchase a 3 month or 1 year rental of the transition bundle to increase your Softimage seats or you can purchase the bundle itself. If you purchase the bundle new you will have the same rights as if you obtained it by transitioning from a Softimage license. Please note these options are only available to customers who own Softimage already. maurice Maurice Patel Autodesk : Tél: 514 954-7134<tel:514%20954-7134> -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Jason S Sent: Friday, March 07, 2014 2:02 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Update to the Softtimage Transition Plan Would that also extend ability to scale (get new licences) ?

On 03/07/14 13:44, Maurice Patel wrote: Hi everyone, I have an update to the Softimage Transition Plan to share with you: When we created the initial Softimage transition plan our desire was to provide our customers with an easy, no-cost path to transition to either 3ds Max or Maya. We have been monitoring all of your feedback on the forums, including many direct conversations with our customers, and have made adjustments to the transition offering to address your concerns. As we had previously announced, a program is available to all Softimage customers on Subscription providing you with the option of migrating to 3ds Max or Maya via a bundle that will include a Softimage license until April 2016. Based on your feedback we will be adding the ability to continue to access Softimage indefinitely with your Subscription entitlement even after we stop support on Softimage in April 2016. We have heard you and we want to make sure you can continue to be able to access your Softimage projects even after the retirement of Softimage. Our intention was not to create more burden on you with this difficult change. As many of you have also asked about this, we would also like to clarify what will happen if you do not want to transition: your licenses will not stop working. Any licenses you have purchased are yours. They are perpetual licenses and will continue working whether you are on Subscription or not. You will continue to be able to contact support if you need to move a license to a new machine. maurice Maurice Patel Autodesk : Tél: 514 954-7134<tel:514%20954-7134>
