I've taken out the sentence referring to the threat of discontinuing Softimage licenses if the Maya offer is taken up.
They didn't change their position on this afaik. They just rephrased it imho.
Read carefully what Maurice wrote: ------ 1. You make the transition and let your subs expire before April 30th 2016. In this case you will retain the right to use both Softimage 2015 and whatever version of Maya you were on at the time your contract expires in perpetuity. 2. You make the transition, remain on Subscription after April 30th 2016, but choose not to install any future versions of Maya after that date. In this case you would also be able to keep both your Maya and Softimage versions frozen in perpetuity if you wish to. It is only on installing software that you have to accept a new license agreement. Any licenses that you have purchased are yours in perpetuity and are only replaced on installing new software. 3. You make the transition, remain on Subscription after April 30th 2016, and install a new version of Maya after that date. In this case the new license will replace the transition bundle license and will be Maya only. Previously that meant losing access to Softimage. With the changes we have just made you will now be able to access Softimage via Subscription in the same way as you can access prior versions today. ------ ..so basically nothing really changed from the original "offer", right? The way I understand it there is no way that I can use my current Maya Entertainment Creation Suite, stay on Subscription and fire up Softimage 2015 next to Mudbox 2019 in 4 years time.. :/ Chris
