wasn't there a way to export/import/transfer your license?
if so, there wouldn't be a problem I guess...

Hi

The License Agreement defines the terms of use:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=10235425#section29

Territory and number of installs are the most obvious restrictions.
Assuming you purchased your license in the EU, then you can use it 
anywhere in that territory.


However, Section 2.1.1 does say

...no license is granted (whether expressly, by implication or 
otherwise) under this Agreement...for Installation of the Licensed 
Materials on any Computer other than a Computer owned or leased, and 
controlled by Licensee, unless otherwise authorized in writing by 
Autodesk...

Is it leased by you?

I'm not a lawyer, but I understand that clause as meaning that you 
personally have to own, lease, or control the computer where you install 
Softimage.

Re: URGENT Softimage license question within a company !!!

[Tim Leydecker]

Hi Sebastian,


be glad you have IT. Please understand the legal consequences for the
administrator when installing a software and making it available to
use (via the network) to others than the registered user.

By the book, it would indeed be neccessary to verify if this is a
license that has to be restricted in access, e.g. even if it is a
network license, it may only be legit to be used by the registered
individual but should not be available to other users and therefor
not show as a desktop link or in their start menu.

This is not obtuse but boringly difficult to setup and maintain in
a multi-person-multi-machine-pipeline and brings the risk of ending
up with files either unacessible to many or even illegal to edit.

I would think that your reseller should be able to provide proof of
purchase or at least help you with the license transfer to the machine
that will run the license server for the duration of that job.

The documented license transfer to the new machine/MAC ID could be
regarded as legit proof of purchase/usage. I would recommend asking
your reseller for a temp license, thought.

It would be easier to wrap the job without leaving the license behind.

Long story short, that´s hoops you have to go through due to Autodesk´s
licensing policy and it would most likely be seen as helpful if you would
support your IT guys and client in a calm and pro-active manner.

You could at least look into using Maya for the modeling, the asset will
most likely have to be delivered flawlessly as a Maya scene file anyway.

If you see benefits in using Softimage, make the benefit felt, especially
if there are stupid licensing problems to start your job with...



Cheers,


tim

[Tim Leydecker]

Hey Sebastian,

from your previous posts, I could very well read the pressure
and stress this unexpected licensing issue brings.

Been there.

Please understand my suggestions as meant to help take away
some of the pressure by pointing out the reason for the delay
lying partially beyond your direct control but in the hands
of Autodesk making it difficult to solve the issue in a timely
manner instead you being stubborn or a diva. Other´s have to see
the problem correctly to understand your situation correctly.

When I suggested you look into Maya, I tried to suggest you see
what else you can already set up in your new workspace to help
you work as best as possible and show your Lead you´re willing
to problem solve, e.g. give yourself comfort and built trust.

If the issue will take 3 days to solve, how can this downtime
be used to your benefit, what else needs to be done?

e-mail, project structure, naming conventions, lunch with your
fellow artists, introduction to the team, briefing and looking
into example assets. Memorizing references, collecting new one.

Get some beers. That helps imho.

Cheers,


tim

This is kind of amusing considering Autodesk was basically giving away
SoftImage with every purchase of Max and Maya. Now, you have to provide
your own Soft license?

Not a good precedent to set in my opinion.

Re: URGENT Softimage license question within a company !!!

[Andy Moorer]

I've run into a number of cases where IT at studios bends over backwards to 
avoid having to deal with new software of any complexity, period. In general 
however the CG supervisor at any studio is the ultimate authority in what 
software is used in the pipeline. IT has a voice, but they don't produce the 
product, they are there to make that production possible.

If the CG sup says I can use a tool, then IT had better damned well get on 
board or that sup should tear them a new one.

But adding Softimage into the mix at a maya-only studio is not a casual 
decision, either. It's entirely within the studios right to dictate to their 
artists what tools are or are not used, and the artists must respect that with 
an understanding that staying within the pipeline is important.

In short - who says you can use Softimage? If they say you can, have them tell 
IT to give you the support you need. If IT refuses, escalate the issue to the 
highest level you can until something is done, even if it means the decision to 
use Softimage is put in question... A studio where IT rolls over artists 
instead of enabling the, has problems, call attention to it.

The documented license transfer to the new machine/MAC ID could be

It would be easier to wrap the job without leaving the license behind.

You could at least look into using Maya for the modeling, the

I had a similar experience a couple years ago at a studio how has a
satellite office here in NYC. They were all Maya and they had an overbuilt,
convoluted file structure that was really inappropriate for commercial
work. So much so that the staff people there refused to comply with it. The
hoops I had to jump through just to get a folder with proper permissions to
set up a workgroup set up on the server was absolutely breathtaking. It
took more than a week and several long emails back and forth explaining
what a workgroup was and why I needed it to be accessible to everyone on
the job.  All because of an aloof cg director and IT department that put
itself above the very thing that pays their salaries in the first place. I
think people like that are totally bonkers.

If you're miserable modeling in Maya, I'd suggest using the NEX
plug-in for Maya.
It's very softimage-like, with a tweak tool and a command panel like XSI

Re: URGENT Softimage license question within a company !!!

[Tim Leydecker]

Pipelines are lovely.

Each and every single one of them is different and yet they
are all the same in terms of being rigidly slow in adapting
to the needs they were implemented to adress in the first place.

The only thing worse is a wildly grown, undocumented and none consistent
approach to getting things done quickly and just seemingly efficiently.

No, that´s not true, it´s even worse if the Production team has gotten
used to asking the impossible without bothering about thinking it through at all
but just imposing this expectation down the line.

You want the kids club menu price but the large menu because you´ve come
to think it worked once, it´ll better always work again and again...

That´s problems of growth. Personal and company growth.

At some point, gaffa tape isn´t enough anymore. Neither on the mouth, nor on 
the results.

This shows in conflicts where reasonable communication is avoided because
it implies responsibility the hands-on approach easily and conveniently 
overrides.

It also shows in conflicts where departments start to become hesistant or 
unavailable
because they try to refuse the BS and long for a more reliable, thoughtful and 
ideally
even respectful handling of matters regarding day to day problemsolving.

In short, the wish for strategic planning is expressed in refusing the state of 
affairs.

Not your fault.

Unfortunately also not much you can do about it either but accept that it´s
the messenger that get´s killed first.

I´m with Andy and Eric you have to speak up, but it´s not guaranteed that your
effort will get honoured, instead, chances are that you will get flamed for
creating problems.

That´s where you end up hoping to find reason, that´s where you have to expect 
disapointment.

That´s why I can very well understand how much a simple licensing issue can 
suck.


Cheers,

Tim: I wouldn't say that *all* pipelines are rigid and unadaptable. If a
pipeline is thoughtfully built from the ground up to be flexible and scale
in scope of its "involvement" from project to project, then it it does not
have to be gaff-taped, it simply rolls with the needs of a particular style
of project.

Sebastien: As far as IT and licensing, the more legwork that you can do for
you IT guy (proof of license, type of license, download link, etc.) the
more that he'll see that you are trying to help him and the more likely
that he'll help you back.

Just a thought,

I generalized to make it read easier but won´t insist
on this simplification used for the sake of illustrating
a big, heavy thing that may be intimidating at times,
exceed the scope of ones own field of view or just
as well be magic thing that mostly goes unnoticed.

My primary concern was to point out that there may be
conflicts that will more likely show when running into
the limits of an existing solution and that it may be
surprisingly hard to make people see the benefit of changing
things as first and foremost this means having to put in some
thought, some work and seeing the own area of comfortable control
or personal freedom in danger.

This applies to all positions involved, everybody has to refind
their new place and not everybody likes this.

I also would like to point out that any problem one may run into
in a scenario as such may easily found a criticism and that is
something where it is tempting to boldly react as if that´s uncalled for.

It takes a strong personality to not take this personal but see the
benefit of questioning the current status for the better and be willing
to take this to each and everyone involved who may just be fine with how
things work and not willing to adapt at all.

Which brought me to the Production Team, including the Supervisor.

For them, it´s first of all a problem when all they want you to do
is function in a way that makes them deliver what they have promised
to a client.

Only a few want to realise this ultimately mean responsibility, not just sexy 
power.

What a day it has been,

the issue has not been resolved but a tenuous agreement seems to have been
struck, for better or worse it will have to do if i am to remain productive.


I would like to thank everyone who came on, for their help and support in
any form it may have been offered.

especially, Tim Leydecker, i feel we started out on the wrong foot, but in
a time of stress when i feel i lashed out, you where quick to show empathy
and understanding.

Stephen Blair for his resourcefulness in providing Key information.

Dave and Javier, a nice idea, but they would never allow it, it would
conflict with the clause of my contract stipulating never taking any IP of
the premisses and with every other network conduct and antivirus stance.


i will get back too you now but my head is lolling and it has been the most
prustrating day, so please forgive and  catch you toomorrow

Re: URGENT Softimage license question within a company !!!

[Stephen Blair]

Hi

You can borrow a network license, but you have to connect to your home 
machine and check out the license first.
For a laptop that's not too bad, but for a workstation in the office 
it's probably going to be a problem.


A standalone license can be transferred via the License Transfer Utility 
(basically, you upload the license to an Autodesk server, and then 
download it onto some other machine).

Hey Sebastian,

no harm done.

I´m with Stephan, owner and licensee is a nasty difference.

The old days where nice, a physical dongle providing prove, control
and means of actually bringing your license to where you needed it.

It was easy to forget or snap the USB one, too :-)

Re: URGENT Softimage license question within a company !!!

[Daniel Harjanto]

This is the challenge IT Dept facing now.
They are bound by ISMS of the company, and usually it's a written policies
in IT Security policies.
They have to protect the company from un-necessary hassle such as legal
issue.

In broader way it include challenge to BYOD policies, some company doesn't
allow you to use your own device to work in corporate network, because it
introduce another threat for Information Security.

It need a holistic solution from them software vendor, how software vendor
adopt the changes in IT landscape for example. Cloud computing and mobility
will be the trend in next couple of year.
So the question is what the software vendor see in this changes.

But as I deal with both position, it will never be easy to solve the issue,
from legal and pipeline perspective.

Cheers,

 Hi

 The License Agreement defines the terms of use:
 http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/**servlet/index?siteID=123112&**
 id=10235425#section29

 Territory and number of installs are the most obvious restrictions.
 Assuming you purchased your license in the EU, then you can use it
 anywhere in that territory.

 However, Section 2.1.1 does say

 ...no license is granted (whether expressly, by implication or
 otherwise) under this Agreement...for Installation of the Licensed
 Materials on any Computer other than a
 Computer owned or leased, and controlled by Licensee, unless
 otherwise authorized in writing by Autodesk...

 Greeting good day good evening everyone, Fellow Softimage
 users, my name is Sebastien Sterling, recently i purchesed my own softimage
 license so as i was going to work
 for nWave digital a Belgium feature film studio, and that i
 know of no better tool for the work i do, mine is a character modeling
 position.

 The place uses maya, but i was told that if i was able to
 provide my own license that this should not be a problem. however there
 seems to be a schism in the company.
 and the higher up IT peoples stance is: they require
 confirmation from Autodesk that i can use my my license in the this 
 company.

 My question is this, has anyone ever brought their softimage to
 work for a company ? if so how did this come about...\

 or

 Alternatively, what would autodesks stance be on this, as the
 issue seems to hinge on the leagle ramification of package controls.




 I love this package, i bought it, even in these uneasy
 questionable times, and i love this community, please guys, Help me !
