Hmmm... for $998 I'll sell mine too
I've also seen copies being sold on ebay for around $100, but it was never 3.2 ver, only 3.1 or older.
I'd say that a 3.2 ver for arround $300 would sound fair for both sides, and I think it will cover VRay basic.

I just wanted to undestand something. What´s the use of buying a lightscape license if it is not transferible?
As far as I know you cannot tranfer a license from one person to another.

I dont care whats transferable, if you bought this software at 1G and autodesk dead's it and I cant use it on my new operating system Ill transfer it to to any one to the highest bidder without a second thought.

If the company that ownd the copy of Lightscape goes under or shuts down then the license can be transfered

Jim Mann

I had the opposite experience. When Replicanation went into administration I tried to buy some of the Max licenses. The liquidator was fine with this but when I approached Discreet I was told that although it was possible to transfer a license for a fee, this couldn't be done if the company that originally held the license had gone bust. So, not only did I lose my job and the wages and expenses I was owed but I lost the chance to take on a piece of software that would help me get back on my feet for an affordable price.

Best to check with Autodesk/Discreet before buying a copy of a piece of software second-hand.

Incidentally, just in case Jeff Mottle starts to worry, I used my credit card to buy a new copy of Max in the end and didn't use pirate stuff.

Hmm...

Thinking about it logically, the only reason that you would want to bother to transfer the license through Autodesk is because you wanted to benefit from future upgrades. Since there isn't going to be an upgrade, ever, then what does it matter.

Jim

Craig Ramsay

You would bother so that you legally own the software.

Good for you for being honest and buying a copy of Max btw i'm sure it will pay for itself quite quickly!

Craig

Jim Mann

That was almost three years ago now, but yes it did pay for itself pretty quickly - which is more than can be said for Replicanation.

Jim

Craig Ramsay

Oh yeah, Replicanation did those furniture models right? Some of their models were really good but I seem to remember them also being very expensive.

Craig

*edit* Oops, kind of gone off topic here... Anybody want to make Rachel a happy lady and buy a copy of Lightscape from her?
