Rich,

It DOES say that, but notice that it is only an asterisk to a point:

---

Edit Vue 5 Infinite environments directly from within Max or Maya (using the Vue interface*).

*Requires a separate license of Vue 5 Infinite. Vue objects cannot be edited independently in Max/Maya without prior export from Vue.

To me this suggests that Vue5I is only needed in order to edit objects/scenes. This leads me to believe that if someone e-mailed me a Vue5I scene/Fusion scene I could load it into my application (Maya, Max, C4D, LW) without having a license of Vue5I. I may be wrong, but this is what it seems to imply.
