It is possible to use Send-To between different versions. The link below is for Mudbox though it applies for other products as well. Just look for the appropriate syncfg file inside the Synergy directory. http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/mudbox/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/The-Send-To-option-is-greyed-out.html?v=2012

In the past, people could upgrade from a Standalone Softimage license to a Network license by paying the difference. IIRC, that difference was equal to the network license activation fee, and that is what the network license activation fee is for. If you get can get a network license, you'll get the five batch licenses automatically, so focus on getting the reseller to answer the question: can I upgrade my standalone Softimage license to a network license?

I had this thought as well, but...the wording of the license agreement for 2014 leaves a little question whether this is legitimate because the MI2 would not have been made with the software the MR license is through (max and maya) Section "10.1.1 Rendering." I'm no lawyer. But trying to get someone at Autodesk and or a Reseller to give me a conclusive answer about the upgrade...it's like they don't want my money.
