is Smoke 2012 trial unavailable ?

[lzmihich]

I've Watched the very acomplished tutorial for Smoke 2012 here in Area,
(The one with the Gladiators)and can't find the trial.
I am aware of the 2013 version , but Why the 2012 trial was discontinued ?

I think it was removed because of the differences between the 2012 and 2013 version.

Thanks Fred,for your reply.
I use Final Cut , and of course, I am following all the buzz about Smoke 2013,
However ,that still makes no sense to me.
I am a 3ds Max user , and one always had the option to try all the versions, even thougth ,
from Max 2011 , they were wildly different !
Cancel any trial , really ?quite annoying.
I guess that this leave me with no option at all , but wait till June !

I'm a longtime FCP user hoping to get a leg up on the next version of Smoke by learning some of the common modules with the previous version. It took me a lot of digging last week but I did find and was able to download Smoke 2012 SP3: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=17750505&linkID=9242619
