No need to apologise, the Kharmic debt Autodesk has built up will result in a bus that makes Gojira look like an ant.
The big problem is that the resellers just don’t know. Particularly outside of the USA. If your lucky and they do actually try and find out from Autodesk , they don’t seem to know either. There is a few canned responses but very little actually answering your specific question. Jill seems to be one of the few who actually looks at things case by case basis. Any particular reason why your using mental ray ? I am really liking using octane at the moment. One of the big joys is that once you export your Alembics, what you used to create them ceases to be a factor. And of course being able to use machines at the university to make up a nice GPU farm … Vrooooosh ;) From: Jason S <jasonsta...@gmail.com<mailto:jasonsta...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>" <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>> Date: Thursday 23 October 2014 at 3:38 AM To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>" <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com<mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com>> Subject: Re: Stand-Alone to Network license?

You CAN take it or leave it.. it's your choice, it's up to you. At the point you're at, Patrick, I'd probably download a crack, get that running, and publicly dare AD to come after me. It's not as if you didn't try to play by the rules. It's not as if your use of a crack economically hurts them, since using any other AD product isn't a viable option. They've simply made it impossible for you to actually use a product you legitimately bought. <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
