Purchase Crazy-Check: Is this Autodesk License the software exactly?
high dynamic range
So, I found this on TigerDIrect.

My question:
Is this a legitimate, educational license for Autodesk Entertainment Suite 2014? Aka, is this literally a single computer, full-on software, and NOT a license to just add an additional seat or something else entirely?
Is it missing anything like a provided license key or something? Because its all being delivered on a USC apparently.
I called TigerDirect customer support and they said it was a full on license for the software. I'm still scratching my head about the price.
Thank you!

My intention is that this'll tide me over as my personal Maya license (minus any months I have freelance work that requires a commercial subscription).
If you're looking to freelance or something, your best bet might be to look into the subscription options.
Actually, you can specify "mentor" out of the 3 options (student, faculty, mentor).
:thumbup:
Word.
What happens for example IF you're client wants you to send the .max file and they use and have a commercial license?
Factor in your rental cost when quoting and if you have to use an AD product. :thumbup:
That'd be the plan, assuming I have the week or so to rev up subsciption services. From what I hear at this time, the system is a bit antsy.
But anyways, does this look like a legit, permanent, education license for Autodesk Entertainment Suite 2014?
I feel like I'm missing some sort of loophole I need to take advantage of right now.
Its not like the skills you learn in one software go away when you dont have the license to use it anymore.
Also it appears based off some talk at cgsociety (and elsewhere) and some stuff said by the Autodesk CEO, that the perpetual license might not be an option going forward and a subscription model will be pushed entirely in its place. Depending on your outlook, it might not be wise to jump on board with their edu or even perpetual licenses anymore at least until further notice.
I'd recommend checking out Modo btw.
You don't need an edu email address to signup anymore.
You guys are saying that I can get this for free with any email address I want by going directly to Audodesk and list lynda.com and myself as Mentor ??
LOL. Don't be late to the party.
You can put in polycount.com if you want :thumbup:
Just beware AD can do random audit of your system if you agree to their TOS.
At the end of the day, it's your money and you aren't going to be considered dumb for buying something you worked for, but it just seems like you could save some money. On a related note, the distribution method is listed as a flash drive, seems like they're just going to mail you an installer and provide you with a key.
