Like Adobe\u2019s Creative Cloud, users can pay-per-program or simply get the entire Entertainment Creation Suite. These rentals come in a variety of prices, all of which are much cheaper than buying the software outright.<\/p>\n<p>At Autodesk\u2019s Investor Day 2014, Senior Vice President of Industry Strategy and Marketing Andrew Anagnost announced that the software company is planning on phasing out \u201cbuy-outright\u201d software in exchange for a subscription-only model. The plan falls in line with Autodesk&#8217;s current subscription model and continued success will likely pave the way for affordable subscription based offerings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-03-at-11.33.16-AM.png\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-46357\" style=\"border: none;\" title=\"Maya LT Subscription Model\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-03-at-11.33.16-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"130\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><em>Maya LT Buy-Outright vs. Subscription<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can currently get software subscriptions under a pay-as-you-go plan from Autodesk\u2019s website, but with a monthly fee of $290 for the regular version of Maya it&#8217;s just too expensive for the average designer use.
