Hi guys, This is beyond my level of expertise to comment on with any usefulness, so I’m going to ask our licensing product manager to take a look at this thread.

Jill, Hsiao, could you please help me out here? 1.) If it indeed installs into it's own separate folder what is the motivation/reason in making us uninstall 2015 first? 2.) Also it was suggested that a patch installer might be provided in the future. How on earth should this work when the SP1 install happens in a unique directory in the first place? I might be wrong here - but my gut feeling here is that the only reason for this messy situation might be compatibility with / conforming to the Autodesk Application Manager... Please let us find a pragmatic solution for this mess. Due to the EOL this is just about this Service Pack and hopefully one or two more. That's it. Conforming to the Autodesk Application Manager workflow shouldn't be a high priority in this situation. No need to change fundamentals so late in the game.

So why do we have to remove 2015 then? It doesn't make any sense at all. /Jens On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 11:51 AM, Sven Constable <sixsi_l...@imagefront.de<mailto:sixsi_l...@imagefront.de>> wrote: from the readme file: "Softimage 2015 SP1 cannot co-exist with Softimage 2015.

The link went live last night(SG time) unintentionally ☹ We had planned to do a final check on the links before making it public. Good news is that the link checks out fine and you can start downloading and installing the SP1. We will get the date on the download page amended to Dec 02.
