I wonder how many of "us" will think that way though.

2012 is now officially off-limits for subscription customers.
I remember a message from an AD rep here, suggesting not to upgrade a
few licenses just in order to keep access to an older version -
thus diluting one’s license park.
it’s anti-customer behavior, directed ONLY at licensed and paying
customers, devaluating their investment.
what you did up to 3 years ago is being ‘obsoleted’ -
for long format work that’s like saying: your previous project is off
bounds. This in an industry (entertainment) thriving on sequels !
funny reading just the other day about Weta’s own new renderer in that
other thread – where they mention opening shots from “old” projects
such as Tintin or the first Hobbit – and re-rendering them. Where this
was actually a design constraint they set themselves.
And here’s AD going: hey, if we can prevent you from doing this, we will!
Sure, you can try and open those scenes on a newer version, and pray
nothing breaks. Oh right, if you’re on Maya, don’t forget to
recompile all those plugins you don’t have the source code for. Doh.

Amen to that. I stuck it out on Softimage, waiting for the next gen
software from AD to replace Maya/Max/XSI.
Definitely not doing that anymore - at this point my ONLY criterium
for a replacement is that it isn’t AD.

Yes you lose the right to run three versions back when the

What was the final verdict on using older versions of Softimage,
I saw on the EOL page you could use up to 3 versions back. Does
that require the user to be on active subscription. My case is I
am on 2015 but my subscription just lapsed.
