Hello Maurice, Is there a limit how far back the license server will go in terms of supporting older versions of Softimage? We currently use 2013 SP1, but prior to that we were using Softimage 7.5 and still need to occasionally jump into 7.5 to exhume old data which have dependencies specific to 7.5 (we have a ton of 7.5 data).

The ops team is trying to resolve this. This is a bit like bug fixing - we need to find and identify the problem fix it so the problem does not reoccur. We are sorry if this is taking a bit longer than expected. If you migrate you ARE entitled to prior versions of Softimage as part of your Subscription. We just need to iron out some kinks so please bear with us maurice Maurice Patel Autodesk : Tél: 514 954-7134 From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com> [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Leoung O'Young Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 12:38 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com> Subject: Re: MayaSoft - previous versions I e-mailed Maurice Patel directly a few days ago regarding Softimage Maya license transfer, he suggest we should be able to use Softimage 2015 license and previous version access through the Subs center. Although I haven't gone through this process myself, too busy with other things.

So "happy, happy, joy, joy" (Ren and Stimpy style). But there seems to be one downside to this, which those of you still planning this "transition" might want to know about. The new license apparently strips you of your previous versions usage rights, i.e. I wasn't able to run Softimage 2014 on this new license, whereas this was still possible with my recent Softimage 2015 license. It's possible that this has been mentioned before and/or this purely a mistake I am making, if so, I'm truly sorry for the additional noise, but I thought it was a fact worth noting. Personally I can probably live without the previous versions usage rights, but I doubt everybody on this list can quite as easily. If this, however, is simply me doing something stupidly wrong, please tell me, so I can hunt for the mistake at my end. Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A.
