The bundle is a transition bundle therefore it is only for those who already have Softimage to get access to Maya or 3s Max for free Existing customers can also purchase new seats to increase capacity if they need to Softimage is discontinued from sale because we would prefer for anyone starting a career or a business not to do so on a product we are no longer developing. However if you really want it there is an option: Softimage will be in the Ultimate Suite for 2 more years, If you are a student with an accredited institution you should qualify for special discount rate too. BTW - everything has a cost and implementing and maintaining offerings in our systems is not trivial Maurice

I know they've saying a lot of reasons, but really none of them makes anysense to me. After all we will be buying Maya, MAX seats to get Softimage. It still means revenue from them for a software they are going to stop devoloping, addressing bugs or fixes. Ok. Don't sell Softimage seats perse, but package Softimage like Toxic. Let the user decide what tool he wants to work with. Just keep the Send to Softimage button regardless of the Maya version. This is no additional cost to Autodesk. Is this too much to ask? ------------------------------------------------------- Emilio Hernández VFX & 3D animation. 2014-03-24 12:23 GMT-06:00 Nuno Conceicao <nunoalexconcei...@gmail.com<mailto:nunoalexconcei...@gmail.com>>: So for what I understood you can buy your first license only till the 28th then after this you are able to purchase more. If you have no licenses after this date you wont be able to purchase Softimage anymore... :( So I would suggest you get in touch with a retailer asap, he will be able to confirm this info obviously On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 6:19 PM, Nuno Conceicao <nunoalexconcei...@gmail.com<mailto:nunoalexconcei...@gmail.com>> wrote: I think you have until the 28th March to be able to purchase Softimage for the first time (not a current client) On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 4:52 PM, Martin <furik...@gmail.com<mailto:furik...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Maurice, Where can I have more info about this ? I was contemplating the possibility to buy a few licenses in the near future before the EOL announcement because I will most probably have some SI projects on my own and I don't have a commercial license right now (I work with my current employer license) and may need extra hands later, so If I buy the current version would I be able to purchase a few more seats later? Or am I too late for this?
