There are so many plugins and add-ons for 3dsmax, you should be set for quite some time with your 2017 license. I plan to make a video demo showcasing some of the excellent MCG tools that enhance 3dsMax's capabilities, and they're all free. I had previously been working with the 2012 release until just recently because I really had no need to move up since using maxscripts and plugins enhanced my workflow into the future, and that version was extremely stable on my system. The MCG tool is a huge bonus and will help extend the shelf-life and value of the product for many years, especially for modeling and animation.
