I think the opposite.
AD should make it available to buy seats.
Why AD is refusing ? they will earn money for nothing. That I don't
understand.

People... do you REALLY think that there is anything at all left to be
said?
I saw screw AD, screw PR and all marketing from each nd every copany.
Only thing important is use tool that works for you.
Right now if it is Softimage, keep using it as long as it serves you
and gets food on your table.
In the next couple years if there is something better go for it if
not.. keep using SI fro another 10 years if needed.
In any case it doesn't make any sense at all to go through PR firewall
of AD.
It was clear from day one back in 2008 that AD will kill Softimage,
and every single year after that was step in that direction.
It is pure business war that AD won offer SI and SI is casualty...
nothing we can do there nor they will ever change their mind.
Use what works for you and stop waisting time on this PR crap..

only Softimage person there. I have managed to persuade them
through demonstration and now we are setting up production with it.

testament to the clear advantage given by Softimage over any other
solution and I will take every opportunity I can to say that.
