Apple on Tuesday released Shake 4.1 with a lower price tag, but also cancelled support contracts for current Shake customers. The company is offering Shake license holders three options in place of previous support contracts, according to FxShare. The first option allows customers to continue with end-user email support, as well as SDK support for the duration of their Maintenance contract. A second option allows customers to cancel their Maintenance and receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion. Existing software licenses will continue to function according to the Software License Agreement. Maintenance customers that wish to cancel their contract must do so by July 23rd, 2006.
The final option allows maintenance customers to choose to license the Shake 4.1 Source Code for $50,000. The Source Code license includes a 5,000 seat volume license of Shake 4.1. The offer is designed to help facilities with significant Shake investments maintain a reliable and controllable visual effects pipeline, according to Apple. Maintenance customers that wish to license the Shake 4.1 Source Code must do so by July 23rd, 2006.
