If you guys would take the extra minute to read, it clearly says that this happened before there was a replacement battery offered for the Ipod.

OK ... let's try this again ... :mad: :mad: :mad:

Does anyone else feel it is USELESS for Autodesk give ONE seat/license to each team? If the team has connections to a school using these products then they don't need it (except maybe to install on a team laptop ??), and if they don't already have access then one license (of each package/program) is not near enough to allow for the required learning curve, then complete any significant design/animation tasks to be useful, or enter into the contest(s), within the timeframe we are working.

What does your team do for CAD/Animation software ??

This is not the point of the thread, please refrain from writing about it. Anyways the $99 battery for the iPod actually has been out for quite a while. But they never advertised it.

I feel your pain Stu. This year, we're going to be using the following versions of Max each with a single user lisence - 4.2, 5.0, and 6.0. 3 computers, 3 versions... this is going to be a mess :( I guess we'll probably just put everything into the newest version (6) and go from there. FIRST, Autodesk, and Discreet should all realize that it's impossible to work from a single user lisence when you have an animation team.

And Multi-user lisences are just way too expensive. If they weren't, our team would probably have one by now.

We are going to try using the Portable License Utility to export the license, which is a NFR, not Educational, to computers, and just using the 24-Hr. Grace Period for team work.

Right now, It's on a team member's laptop.
