I'd have to completely agree with that (!)
Opening-up the SDK is entirely feasable and can be a very reasonable
compromise to the development freeze,
.. and/or a far more realistic (and non resourse intensive) request than
any one involving actually selling / releasing sources.
I think that single point should be pivotal.

Indeed, now if we could just open the SDK...

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.

Subject: Re: Update to the Softtimage Transition Plan
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.
maurice
