Important news for the Flame Family:
- New monthly, quarterly and annual Subscription options for Flame, Flare, Flame Assist and Autodesk Lustre

- Customers may source their own qualified Linux hardware for Flame Family products
- New support for Flame on OS X in addition to Linux and the announcement of the Flame Family 2016 Extension 2 release available later in November
With these changes, Autodesk is evolving the entire Flame Family to meet the needs of a growing base of creative professionals including freelancers and smaller facilities that need access to powerful 3D visual effects and finishing tools to tackle tough jobs. The new subscription offerings provide a lower cost for facilities expanding their creative capabilities and for smaller studios and individual freelancers who work on a project basis. Autodesk plans to continue to sell perpetual licenses of Flame Family.
- Early next year: sales of Flame as a turnkey system will discontinue.
- Today: Flame will be available as a software only product. Customers can choose their own qualified Linux hardware.
- Late November: license Flame on the Apple Mac OS X. Recommended configuration specifications for Flame running on OS X will be available soon.
The changes we are making allow us to continue to provide our Flame users with the tools they need to grow and transform their businesses, now and in the future, as well as to ensure that our business continues to serve them. With the new Flame business model, it's never been easier for artists and studios to access these powerful tools they need for the high-end finishing their customers demand, shared Marc Stevens, vice president, Film & TV, Autodesk . Community feedback is vital to the future of Flame, and these changes reflect what our customers want; they'll also allow us to meet the emerging needs of staff artists, freelancers and facilities by offering more choices, just like the rest of Autodesk.
