I just installed 2016 ECSU and recalled seeing this in the release notes:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/sites/default/files/entertainment_creation_s
uites_2016_readme_enu.htm
The Softimage Notes suggest that SI 15 and 16 are identical. I suspected
Softimage would be renamed 2016 in order to keep it included in the suites
and keep it's identity as a suite component for reference. Thing is it
says that that version with the 2016 suite is not "Softimage 2016 R2" but
"Softimage 2015 R2" and that 2015 R2 only works with 2016 license keys.
The installer doesn't install it automatically as in the past, but it does
copy the necessary installation package to do so manually. I never
installed it, figured I'd wait till next year to see if a final SP comes
out.
Looking at these notes you'd think the only thing they spend any time
working on is FBX but all you have to do is open Maya 2016 to know that¹s
not the case. It would be nice though to have more information on what if
anything makes these Softimage versions any different, assuming they might
be.
