We don’t like the way other people have done these things.

“We’ve seen other people do things like this. “We will partner with customers through this transition,” Autodesk exec Andrew Anagnost told Studio Daily. While the strategy takes a page from Adobe’s playbook, which switched its Creative Cloud suite to a subscription model in 2013, Autodesk is distancing itself from Adobe’s heavy-handed approach. Customers who have purchased a perpetual license prior to that date will be able to continue receiving upgrades and support as long as they keep their maintenance subscriptions up to date.Īutodesk tells customers that the shift to a subscription plan allows them to deliver “an improved user experience and access to a broader portfolio of technology.” Among the benefits: a simplified installation/management/upgrade experience, flexible payment terms, and broader access rights across multiple devices. the student license says that assets made in the student version are not allowed to be used in any commercial products, but my question is, how can they find out if your assets are made in a student. The new standalone desktop software subscriptions will begin next year, on February 1, 2016. I see lots of people using the student version of max and maya with the intention to use them in a commercial game.

Autodesk, the developer of Maya computer graphics software, offered new details yesterday about its transition from perpetual licenses to a subscription-only software model.
