Problem solved... After going back to registeronce and getting a new license file, there does appear to have been something wrong with my original license file, dating from the time when the MayaS 2016 bundle was first released, as it was missing an "INCREMENT 86269SFTIMSIB_2016_0F" block. With this new license everything seems to work as expected.

There is no difference. There was no Softimage 2016 so for the 2016 release of the Suites and the Maya/3ds Max bundles a 'bridge' had to be created for Softimage 2015 to go into the new offering. This was the R2 version and apart from licensing requirements there was no change in the software. The only software updates have been the service packs which were issued separately. Our QA team reported today that they have not yet identified an issue in their tests (Batch is working) but that they are continuing to look into this.

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.

The installed version is the R2-SP2 that is bundled with the license for Maya 2016. It was my impression that SP2 and R2-SP weren't identical, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason to distribute two different versions. But I could be mistaken...

I presume whatever it is it must be installed from a 2016 package? There was a warning somewhere that said the two versions should not be installed at the same time. Is it possible you have both installed somehow? When I run xsibatch here using the 2015 version, it tells me it is checking out: ======================================================= Autodesk Softimage 13.0.114.0 ======================================================= License information: using [86269SFTIMSIB_2015_0F] I don't have SI 2016 R2 installed. If your version is looking to something with 2016 license code in it, it must be the SI 2016 R2 version that you are trying to run? The reason I ask is that since the SI 2015 SP2 package is supposed to be identical (?) to the SI 2016 R2 package, it might be possible to uninstall the 2016 version and install the 2015 one that way the 2015 software might only look for licenses with "2015" in it. Maybe that will let you get production going till the problem is sorted out? -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES II) Science Systems and Applications Inc.

My intention was not to imply that your report carried no weight otherwise why would we have already escalated your issue with the dev team, even before you contacted us? My point was as you were not going through the normal support channels we could not help you if the problem is with your setup. As I mentioned in my email, we will keep you posted if our engineers find an issue/solution on our end.
