Hi Goldorak, thanks for info.
I understand you can't release them all at same time (actually you can but then you need to hold some until last DEV is done but that's another story
) and it needs time to do new licensing for all DCCs/plugins but that is my point there also, you shouldn't really start AA counter until first release of ALL plugins is ready for AA. This way we/I did get discount 'coz i bought it at release/black Friday but discount was only for 1 license and I/we still can't really use AA (other plugins) it so if 3 months are gone before I/we can fully use it (as All Acess) then that "cost" 3*20$ i.e. 60$ "wasted" which then brigs it closer to pricing like there was no discount at all. It's not like we can use 2018.1 NOW in production or with all plugins.
As for more render slaves (only for v4 as it stands now), from initial FAQ i didn't understood it (possibly my mistake) that way so i updated all three of my licenses and as it stands now i could just upgrade 2 and get 2 more render slaves (total 4 computers rendering) licenses 'coz i have 3 licenses/computers so 6 licenses do not get me any benefit right now (i'd need to buy 3 more machines which is pretty expensive
). Sure it's good to have that option and THANK you for that "gift", i just wish i understood it better how will it work.
So please reconsider that All-Acess countdown should be reset/start form date when all-aces is fully working.
Thanks
