Hi Leendert The mechanism is the same. Your comment about three versions back applies to what is made available as new releases are issued. No new releases for Softimage will be available so the situation is not really identical and the three version back limitation does not apply. Also the three limit back is about access to licenses not about existing ones. For example if you are using Maya 2009 today (more than 3 versions back) you can still continue to use it although you would only access 2011, 2012, 2013 from the Subs center.

Patel, Thanks for the update, but it raises another question: (If this is a stupid question: sorry, I'm having a hard time processing all this ATM.) Two quotes... >From the OP: "Based on your feedback we will be adding the ability to continue to access Softimage indefinitely with your Subscription entitlement even after we stop support on Softimage in April 2016." >From the FAQ "If you need to use Softimage after February 1, 2016 you will be able to access it through the Subscription center in the same way that Subscription customers can access prior versions today." In the FAQ one element from your OP seems unclear. You clearly speak of accessing "Softimage indefinitely", while the FAQ states the usage "in the same way that Subscription customers can access prior versions today.". As I understand prior version rights aren't indefinite. I believe older versions cease to be available after three years even under this program. While I assume/hope the condition you've laid out in your OP to be correct, but if so the FAQ could use some clarification in this respect. Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A.
