Hi guys,
how do you guys prepare for the time after Softimage 2015 and how do
you guys cope with files dating back to legacy versions of Softimage XSI,
like from old XSI Foundation files, Softimage XSI version pre 7.5 and so on?
Aside from the fact that I am still not sure if I have to take any
specific action
with Autodesk to make sure I´ll have a Softimage 2015 license to run after
the Autodesk 2016 Suite will be released or the licensing model changes
somewhere in February 2015, I do feel additional pressure to make sure
my last 10 years worth of Softimage/XSI files will not end up as a cryptic
data dump equal 42.
Do you guys also try to keep at least the old licenses&installers on backup?
How do you cope with the servicepacks and updates usually not directly
available
via the subscription center´s account data&download link but only the intial
releases listed there?
Personally, I get lost keeping track of wether or not I actually have
all neccessary
servicepack, etc. for each release cycle or if this or that pack is a
full install or a patch.
I´d wish for Autodesk at least centralizing all downloads instead of
scattering things
all over downloads, subscription center home, account info and maybe
even the area...
Maya Bonus Tools probably means you get a Bonus Dolphin Sticker on your
user account
when you successfully managed to also nfind and download it in the
correct version ...
Cheers,
tim
