Another update: I installed Softimage|3D 3.9.2 on windows 7 along with SDK 1.9.2 and MSVC++. Everything seems to work except for FlexLM (v6.1f). I can start the FlexLM server, validate my license file, and checkout SI_TOOLS successfully, but the FlexLM server then automatically shuts off. I'

just a follow up: Out of curiosity, I tried to compile some old DKit plugins I wrote 15 years ago in Visual Studio 2012 on windows 7. Other than some warnings about deprecated standard C library functions, they compile successfully. However, I ran into a few link errors I could not figure out

We were all hired in 1997-1998 and never worked on Softimage|3D. Your CPU is not relevant, but you should try to have the right compiler, so Visual C++ 6 (which there is no way to get anymore). Saaphire is a C API so it will likely work with other compilers, but.. your own your own. I thought you

Probably a question for Luc-Eric, Brent, Alexandre, Marc-Andre and the other long time Softimage developers who were around back in the day: I want to write a SAAphire plugin for Softimage|3D to export my old scenes as XML or some other text file format I can conjure up. Since my old data uses
