I’ve always been on an AD Maintenance Plan for my one copy of 3DS Max (since 1999)… I currently pay around £600 a year (though God knows why really because a) I hardly always update as soon as a new release comes out and b) I sometimes even skip a release)… But, Maintenance Plan is for me… Today …

I pay quarterly for 3DS MAX and just the other day I saw Revit 2017 in my available software for download. Has this been added, or is there an internal screw up?

Subscription is one sided. It isn’t at all for the end user, and if your business isn’t centered on your client base, you will fail. Subscription services are clearly for the investors.

[image] Vrayfur styler for 3dsmax 2016 It’s a VERY short road to writing the necessary asset convertor to ANY software … I’d do it myself and probably make some fast money on it when the time is right :smile: I’d buy such a converter! By the way, relevant to this discussion is a comment poste…
