"At the time I was quoted $2200 to bring my 2011 license up to 2015.

You could have upgraded your existing floating license to XSI2015 until the Feb 1st 2015 deadline. Remaining all batch licenses because it was an upgrade of your existing network license. The price sounds similar to what I was told at the time (in EUR). I upgraded my network license from 2011 to 2015 in Nov 2014. sven From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Derek Jenson Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 5:23 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: can I still get softimage? I've done my best to keep up with the details of 'upgrading' to Softimage 2015, but still have a few questions; I have a network license of Softimage 2011sp2. I likely should have upgraded when Autodesk still allowed upgrades, if I was going to switch to another AD tool. At the time I was quoted $2200 to bring my 2011 license up to 2015. However, I would have received a Maya/Max & Softimage standalone license in place of my network license, losing all my batch licenses. I was also in mid production with 2011, so trying to look ahead 2 years in this industry is impossible; things change quickly. Parting with with $$ for tools I can't use for at least a year just didn't make sense at the time. And honestly, I feel like I've been trying to protect myself against future AD decisions with the 'upgrade' offer... and that is not the relationship I want with a vendor. So as I understand it, all 'upgrade' offers are for standalone, correct? And at this point there is no 'upgrade', they are simply offering a new Max/Maya & Softimage bundle product to existing holders of Softimage licenses; so I would retain my network 2011 license, correct? In the US, this cost is $3600-3700? And I could run both Softimage 2011sp2 and 2015sp2 at the same time, correct? How has the license server changed from 2011 to 2015? It sounds like the client needs to check-in with an AD server? Blender is open source and free right? Just joking, I know the answer to that one ;) Any help with any of these questions is appreciated. My gut feeling is I will not upgrade, but will switch to another tool. I also feel that AD is pushing the monthly fee so I can easily pickup Max/Maya for a month here or there in the future as needed and keep my thou$ands under my pillow. -Derek ________________________________ Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 09:58:56 -0500 Subject: Re: can I still get softimage?
