First, they decided to close all Foundry offices and move their staff to a work-from-home model. "We have taken all the necessary actions to ensure full business continuity, and we do not foresee any negative impact on our support service," wrote the team.
They have also recently shared an article on how to use Foundry products remotely. The quickest and simplest solution is to use a VPN that doesn't require to change Foundry licensing.
Also, they have reset their trial database, so you can now access a new 30-day trial for all products, independent of the date of your last trial. "We also continue to offer unlimited non-commercial use of Nuke and Mari. For any students who are unable to attend school and can no longer access school facilities, we also offer a year of free access to Nuke, Modo, Mari, and Katana," added the team.
They have adjusted the events they had planned for the first half of the year - they'll now host online events and webinars. You can learn more here.
