Modo 3D discontinued, free to download (ten year offline license)

I know a lot of people use Blender in addition to a Daz or Carrara workflow but it is worth mentioning that Modo 3D has been announced to cease to exist, and the company sent out an email to users giving a farewell offline ten year license.  However the links are free for anyone to access and there is no "phoning home" or anything.  The license will expire after ten years but I guess that will be fine for many of you.  So go ahead and enhance your Daz or Carrara workflow.  NB:- Modo 16 is reckoned to be the most stable, even over version 17.

The EOL license file:

This will work for any of the following versions (Modo download links):-

    Good to know !

    But after investing heavily in Blender with extra tutes and Addons will have to be very good for me to change over. Will give it a try after I complete all of the Blender tutes I have lined up.

    Yes, and Much More!

    It has 'procedural modeling' features. I remember wanting to make the jump and subscribe when they demonstrated that back when they did (it's all become blurry to me - so much going on these days) but, alas... it was waay over what little ol' me could afford.

    Thanks for the tip! Still an unfortunate end for another well-regarded program.
