Re: Installing ECSU2016 Softimage on renderfarm?

[Luc-Eric Rousseau]

The "R2" build of Softimage 2016 is the one you use when you use
Softimage with a "2016" product, like the suite or the "maya 2016 with
softimage" package.
In other words, it's "release 2" because there is no Softimage 2016.

You can download softimage service packs here:

https://manage.autodesk.com/cep/#products-services/products

that´s where you should sign in at with your registered subscription 
account (autodesk account).


It should show you something like Entertainment Creation "Suite 
Ultimate" and a Download Button.



From that a window should pop up and let you click Download (Browser 
Download) or find

the "Serial numbers" and Updates& Add-ons" buttons tabs.

I´m using Firefox on windows, the page is a bit slow atm but that could 
be my connection.


Cheers,

I didn't see this in the list - as always the Autodesk site is
an awful mess and almost impossible to get a clear overview
from. It is ridiculous how their efforts to make it
userfriendly has done almost the opposite. I will go have a
closer look.

It´s a bit tricky to find those installers and always
worth to also check the

I had several instances where updates didn´t show up in my
subscription account
but only the initial release(s), e.g. Maya 2016 but not
the service pack or extensions.

The subscription account management and layout changes
sometimes, there is
a chance things are simpler now or more convoluted.

Logging in with your subscription account on the autodesk
website is in any way recommended...

Welcome to the ESCU2016. No way to downgrade offered...
btw...
