RE: Buy Softimage - > is this a real shop?

Hello, I’d just like to correct this. Anyone can buy extra seats of the Maya + Softimage bundle until Feb 1, 2016, at the same price as Maya – you do not need to be on maintenance. And yes I know that the FAQ fails to mention this, and yes I’m sorry, and yes I’m trying to get it fixed. Jill F

Yes, I agree it's confusing and should be revisited. Glad you like the default scene thing, though! Humanize Maya is an ongoing initiative that will not be completed in a single release, but you can expect to reap the first round of benefits from it in the next major release, assuming all goes

RE: more maya......

So Ben is right. This separation of unit settings for the current scene and your own unit preferences was put in place to address an issue customers had where they’d load someone else’s scene and all of sudden find that their units, fps, etc. had all changed when they next created a new scene. F

RE: Upgrading Softimage. Was: Stand-Alone to Network license?

Sorry if I'm missing the point, but what is the concern here (is there any outstanding concern)? The functionality is all there. Both products are licensed to run on the same workstation - as Luc Eric says, the same as a Suite. So... what is missing for you in this scenario? Thanks, Jill -

RE: Stand-Alone to Network license?

Hi guys, Actually the resellers all have an extremely detailed FAQ with more info than your average customer would care to wade through: that was the rationale behind the abbreviated one for the customers and the idea that you would talk to your resellers for more info. As mentioned, the custome

RE: Stand-Alone to Network license?

So, just to reiterate in case anyone's still confused: 1) If you have a current seat of Softimage on subscription you can migrate to the bundle for free - effectively just choose whether you want free Maya or free Max - until Feb 1, 2016. 2) You can buy the Maya + Softimage or Max + Softimage bu

RE: Stand-Alone to Network license?

Hi guys, Here's the scoop. You cannot get Softimage 2015 anymore unless you are on subs. But you CAN either buy or get upgrades to the Softimage + Maya 2015 bundle or Softimage + Max 2015 bundle. Upgrades are only available into Feb 1, 2015 (this is unrelated to the Softimage EOL, it is for all

RE: EOL and using older Softimages

Hi there, Just to further clarify, that was a technical limitation of how the licensing was implemented, using a new model for desktop subs. We now have one version back (you can now use 2014 or 2015), and next year we will have two versions back, etc. Jill From: softimage-boun...@listproc.aut

RE: EOL and using older Softimages

As Graham has already mentioned in this thread, there is a mechanism for customers on Subscription to request earlier versions. Apart from sounding like the business equivalent of a platitude, it does not work because of the limiting factor of "the past three previous versions" is imposed. Comm
