Hey guys, I agree the updated FAQ (May) should contain the information that you can purchase new seats of the bundle - I'll see if I can get that added. Please don't refer to the original FAQ because it contains information that has since changed (for the better). If in doubt about any of your options, please speak to your reseller or ask me.

Contact your reseller. 4) In neither of the above cases 2) or 3) do you need to be on subscription. That's great Jill, seems much more reasonable! and sorry if I confused the bundle with the Ultimate Suite, because the suite use to be the only way left to get new seats, and I admit I didn't even check the updated FAQ dating back to last May! But even now searching for it, only turned up a 3 post thread on SI community from Hirazi, & don't even know how he found it (seemingly unannounced) (but thanks to Hirazi too! :] ) And that may actually be much more actractive now, since not unlike Photoshop (~6.5 mil out of ~8mil still sticking to the last perpetual ver after 2 years), SI users wont be the only ones using 'last versions', as many Maya users will also seemingly stick to 'last' perpetual versions as well, based only on very similar sentiment, while probably not having (literally) 10$/month bargain promotional 'introductory' rental prices. anyways, cheers!
