Also, I suspect these letters are being auto-generated by the EMEA office as part of a general campaign sent to all Autodesk customers (irrespective of product owned) that have expired Subscription contracts and so is generic and not specific to Softimage. This is because come Feb 1st you will no longer be able to renew maintenance subscription if you let it expire and either need to stay on the same version as you have when the contract expired perpetually or purchase a new desktop subscription contract with no perpetual rights – so it is kind of your last chance to do so. Also if you were on 2015 when subs expired you technically do not have the right to access versions prior to that. maurice

One of the benefits of Subscription is access to previous versions not just the version you have licensed, which is always is always latest available version of the software. This access goes away once you stop subscription though you can continue to use the last version you licensed perpetually.

Hi guys, Out of the blue, like a long forgotten relative, I get a letter from AD's Munich Licence Management about my (not renewed) Subscription. As I stopped maintenance on SI quite a while ago, I'm a bit surprised by this letter. The letter goes into the fact that the Subscription Contract was not renewed (correct), and that the 'additional licensing benefits' are no longer active for the products covered. One of this benefits is the right to use 'previous versions'. Blah blah blah..... possible illegal use of previous versions of the software.. maybe without knowledge inside company yada yada.. Am I not allowed any SI version anymore from when that contract was active? If so, how in the hell can I open up old projects, even for migration, if that is not allowed anymore? This letter makes absolutely no sense to me. So can someone on this list that is AD, explain what the heck this letter is about? -- thanks! Rob \/-------------\/----------------\/
