------ 1. You make the transition and let your subs expire before April 30th 2016. In this case you will retain the right to use both Softimage 2015 and whatever version of Maya you were on at the time your contract expires in perpetuity. 2. You make the transition, remain on Subscription after April 30th 2016, but choose not to install any future versions of Maya after that date. In this case you would also be able to keep both your Maya and Softimage versions frozen in perpetuity if you wish to. It is only on installing software that you have to accept a new license agreement. Any licenses that you have purchased are yours in perpetuity and are only replaced on installing new software. 3. You make the transition, remain on Subscription after April 30th 2016, and install a new version of Maya after that date. In this case the new license will replace the transition bundle license and will be Maya only. Previously that meant losing access to Softimage. With the changes we have just made you will now be able to access Softimage via Subscription in the same way as you can access prior versions today. ------" On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 9:35 AM, Ben Rogall < [email protected]> wrote: > On 1/9/2016 9:59 AM, Scott Lange wrote: > > Mine is almost up with in the next month.
