I can understand from a specific point of view that if you upgrade 1 license of the old version version into 1 license of the new one, that you should only be allowed to start 1 license and not 2 (1 old +1 new).
BUT: I have a friend that does not have a floating license. And he quit subscription. Now he is not able to use ANY license. I do not mean that he got an email that he is not allowed to. He cannot re-install and license his Softimage version any more!!!
