I'm holding the perpetual. Today I need to make a decision if I pay for another year. However, the reseller didn't know if the perpetual licensing will work with 3DS Max 2023. By the way, I still use almost daily Autodesk Stitcher unlimited 2008, and had newer any problems transferring the license to a new workstation.

I've been using Max since R1, 3D-studio for MS DOS before that and Autodesk AutoShade before that. Today I need to decide whether Max 2022 or Max 2023 will be the last Max. Having said that, there's still no guarantee Max 2023 will have perpetual licensing.
