Thank you Maurice! :)
While I still have some suspicion as to the possibility of all this
having been like a tactic..
ie; Doing something super-drastic (all-out continuity arrest)
to then fall back to something less drastic to manufacture wider
acceptance of the less drastic (yet still quite drastic development
freeze) move.
.. nevertheless, I will continue to believe what feels to me as more
likely, being that real people (with consciousnesses) make-up the bulk
of the org which are also able to pull some stings.
Not suggesting that higher-ups are necessarily consciousness-less
(although that may considerably help boosting quarterly flowcharts)
.. but more likely just blindly follow "revenue accounting guidelines"
as you put it.
Thanks again!! :) :)

Yes it would.
If you need to scale production you will have two options. 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.

Would that also extend ability to scale (get new licences) ? (at the very
least for existing customers?)

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.
