As a designer and CG motion designer, software obviously plays an important part in my creative wave. There is an important part of Software that many people are aware of and that being upgrading, which leads me to a slight beef.
The software that I use on a regular basis is a joy to use it’s the upgrading scheme from the companies whose software I use that bothers me, many people don’t realize the cost that some software requires you to pay annually as a larger company / studio this may or may not be that expensive to pay $10K for Licenses. As a independent artist or maybe even as a freelancer paying the annual fee for one license can be difficult depending on how the year went.
It would be nice if these companies would give the individual artist / freelancer an extension of paying the annual every 1.5 years, I’d like to hear some of your comments ?
