2) You can buy the Maya + Softimage or Max + Softimage bundle for the same
price as Maya or Max until Feb 1, 2016. Contact your reseller.
4) In neither of the above cases 2) or 3) do you need to be on subscription.
That's great Jill, seems much more reasonable!
and sorry if I confused the bundle with the Ultimate Suite, because the
suite use to be the only way left to get new seats,
and I admit I didn't even check the updated FAQ dating back to last May!
But even now searching for it, only turned up a 3 post thread on SI
community from Hirazi, & don't even know how he found it (seemingly
unannounced)
(but thanks to Hirazi too! :] )
And that may actually be much more actractive now, since not unlike
Photoshop
(~6.5 mil out of ~8mil still sticking to the last perpetual ver after 2
years),
SI users wont be the only ones using 'last versions', as many Maya users
will also seemingly stick to 'last' perpetual versions as well, based
only on very similar sentiment, while probably not having (literally)
10$/month bargain promotional 'introductory' rental prices.
anyways,
cheers!

So, just to reiterate in case anyone's still confused:
1) If you have a current seat of Softimage on subscription you can migrate to
the bundle for free - effectively just choose whether you want free Maya or
free Max - until Feb 1, 2016.
2) You can buy the Maya + Softimage or Max + Softimage bundle for the same
price as Maya or Max until Feb 1, 2016. Contact your reseller.
3) If you have a seat of Softimage that is six versions or less back, you can
upgrade to the bundle until Feb 1, 2015. This should be a cheaper option for
you if you don't want an additional seat. How much cheaper will depend on how
old your license is. This is why the FAQ focuses on this. Again, contact your
reseller.
4) In neither of the above cases 2) or 3) do you need to be on subscription.
However, since upgrades are going away for all products on Feb 1, 2015, you may
very well want to consider getting on subscription if you want to keep your
Maya or Max seat current.
Hope this helps,
Jill
