I've been using the educational version for years and love the software, I'm starting to look into buying a license so I can use softimage for commerical work, but I no longer see an option to buy it from Autodesk. What are my options?

Hello ZacD,
Welcome to the Community.
Softimage was discontinued last year and is no longer available for purchase. You'll find more details in the Softimage final release announcement.
Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max might be a valid alternative for you. These products are available on our Online Store or can be purchased through an authorized reseller. through To learn more about these products and their features, please contact an Autodesk reseller. To locate a reseller, please visit this page.
Regards,
You can also get the Creatie Suite Ultimate - the big expensive one with everything - it comes with Softimage also. Max, Maya, Motion Builder and Mudbox as extras.
I think Softimage is pretty long term - with Redshift, ICE, Gator and all. Modo is still quite new - but growing fast. Fabric Canvas might be the glue that binds that workflow.
