Hi Howard,
The beta testing for Nuke products has always been reserved for users with
current maintenance, it’s part of the maintenance package. The Nuke beta
licenses you speak of, which we used to give out many years ago, were not
for anyone, as a user you were still required to have current maintenance
to receive one. On very rare occasion we made an exception on an individual
basis for very specific reasons, this was not the norm though. The purpose
of the Nuke beta licenses was to let those users beta test on separate
machines. Unfortunately the overhead of running this separate beta license
system for everyone on maintenance was too high, and we subsequently
stopped doing it.
We are working on ways of better engaging with our large pool of Nuke
product family beta testers. It’s not that we have a lack of beta testers
for any of the products by any means, it’s about encouraging everyone to
participate on the same level as yourself and others on this list do, which
is very beneficial for all.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Cheers,
S
