I was referring to making financial sense for a customer. Essentially, Subscription helps give the best of both worlds – keeping up to date and retaining previous versions, for the lowest potential cost.

It makes perfect sense from financial point for AD. It makes really bad one for people that actually have to use it. Or it is like target only latest one..the rest.. f*k them.. same message SI users already had in their face....

And some very long projects use 4 years old or more versions and you need to keep upgrading for the other projects that may use 2 or 3 years old versions. This is specially common in game development, right now I'm sill using 2011 in some projects. Yet the only version you can buy or rent is the latest one, which nobody uses and can't save in previous versions, so it is completely useless for work. And subscription gives you only 3 versions that are clearly not enough. So, the only way for a newcomer to enter this 3D business is to time travel, or buy a $6K+ software plus subscription per PC at least 2 or 3 years before you get into the 3D business. Now how stupid is this system ? Martin Sent from my iPhone
