Upgrade promos for 2010

[Hirazi Blue]

Quoted in it's entirety from the eX-SI Support Blog to make sure everybody concerned reads this:

Upgrade promos for 2010

Owners of 7.01 and earlier can now upgrade to 2010. The upgrade promo is already available in the Americas, and should be available soon in other locations (each geographic territory has its own sales channels and schedules).

Announcements of promos like this go out through the sales channel, so you won’t necessarily see any announcement on autodesk.com. Contact your local reseller for details.

Already available in America, but they start the October 1st in EMEA (europe,middle-east,africa)

Well, now the offer even has got it's own webpage

Save up to 50% off when you migrate by January 15, 2010

In the accompanying FAQ-pdf it becomes clear this offer does require you to buy Autodesk Subscription also.

The offer does seem to extend to all former versions:

Customers with any version of Softimage XSI products are eligible to migrate to corresponding Autodesk Softimage 2010 products under this program.

I -do- like the phrase "any version of Softimage" in that sentence.

Hats off to AD/Softimage for doing this, I'm sure a lot of people will upgrade to 2010 now. I know I will. SI 2010 is one heck of a release.

The only strange thing is that I can't find any reference to this offer on the Autodesk|Softimage product page (yet). ;)

[Rork]

Can anyone post a link to the AD page, where it is stated the offer lasts until mid January?

So I have something to fish slap my dealer because they didn't update their website yet

I know it's there, but finding your way through the website that's called AD is as fun as watching paint dry
