From the FAQ, here are some details:

From February 1, 2009 through January 15, 2010, Softimge XSI customers will have the option to migrate their existing products to the then current Autodesk Softimage products at 50% off SRP when purchased with Autodesk Subscription.

All migration purchases will be fulfilled with Autodesk network products. If standalone licenses are desired, a request to downgrade to standalone licenses should be noted on the order.

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.

Softimage 2010 Pricing and Availability


See the press release for Softimage 2010 pricing.

Note that the specified prices (SRP and upgrade) for Softimage 2010 Windows are for a standalone licenses. Network licenses are more expensive than standalone licenses.

Also, Linux licenses are always network licenses. That is why the press release shows a price difference between Softimage 2010 Windows and Linux: the Windows price is for a standalone license, and the Linux price is for a network license.

Softimage Advanced licenses are always network licenses (since Advanced includes Batch licenses, you need floating licenses to be able to use your Batch licenses on render nodes).
