The parameter bracketing tool has been in the menus since at least XSI v4.0.
It was broken then too. I remember having to write my own bracketing tool
to bracket parameters for perform bounds testing on custom mental ray
shaders I was developing at the time. I think the netview version is
largely hampered by Active X control permissions as Microsoft started to
crack down on that stuff in later versions of windows. You may need to
check your internet explorer settings to remedy that.
As for upgrading, your softimage license is a perpetual license and should
run forever. Autodesk originally said you'd be giving up Softimage to
continue on subscription with Max/Maya, but I think they changed that
position after the backlash.

I did not know that, you learn something new every day :) I am going to see
if it fails on my side, if it does I will try to figure out where to file a
bug report while I am still on subscription.
BTW - Is anyone going to upgrade past 2015 and lose their soft licences?
I know that make zero sense for me or Janimation.
