No, I think you have to stop paying the subscription fee for the
Softimage/Maya combo if you want to keep using Softimage.

Wait a second. So in order to keep using Softimage past that
date....I have to continue to pay the subscription fee?!!!!! Am I
reading that correctly? If so....well then I have no choice but to
basically use cracked software past that date...sorry...there...I said

Excuse me, but THIS IS BULLSHIT:
/"Please note that the right to use the Softimage license will
terminate at the end of the transition period if you are still on
Subscription. You will be transitioned to the latest release of
either 3ds Max or Maya depending on your initial choice. _If you
want to continue to use your Softimage license after Feb 1, 2016
you should not renew your Subscription contract for a period
beyond that date._ You will be able to continue to use Softimage
but will forfeit any future updates to either 3ds Max or Maya." /
I can see how offering Maya/Max might be a parting gift, but how
can you deny the continued use of Softimage after the two year
transition period? No fucking way in hell we'll just throw all of
our data from almost 10 years back into the lake, we'll need the
ability to open older Softimage projects INDEFINITELY.
Basically, there is absolutely NO way forward with Autodesk at
this pont, I have to keep access available. Rethink, respond and
change this policy ASAP, thanks.
