I've been trying out the Mod Tool for a while now and my company has just purchased Xsi Foundation so we can use it commercially. I have many .exp scene files that were created with the Mod Tool and I would like to be able to open them in Foundation. Unfortunately every time I try to it says action cancelled. Are the mod tool scenes not compatible with the commercial version? I installed the XNA Game studio addin. Am I missing some component?

The mod tool was designed to restrict some aspects when going between it and the official product. I have heard it is because it is possible to buy only a few copies of the official software and then destribute the mod tool and use the mod tool on more machines.

That is unfortunate. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of that restriction. You can already put the Mod Tool on as many machines as you like.

So is my only route between the two products exporting .xsi files? Anyone have any other suggestions or experience with this?
