32-Bit bit 3ds Max 2012/2013 STUDENT LICENCE

[lucasfg3]

I'm sorry for this inconvenience. I know there are plenty of topics about this problem, some even branded as "solved". But I've searched through all autodesk.com and 3ds max forum, without success. Basically what I want is to download a student licenced version of 3ds max 2012 or 2013 in 32-bit, since my computer is 32 bit. I just want it. I have no bad intentions. Basically I need it to make some stuff for a game I love. Please, if somebody could help me, it would be much appreciated.

Good news: you can download 3DS Max 2013 32-bit with help of Autodesk Virtual Agent:

Bad news: you can not get educational license for this version (you can get educational license only on last three version of Autodesk products)

Thank you for the information. But I have a question: is this version trial or something like that? If yes, then why is it not for students? Also, as far as I know an older version of a program can't  do any harm to current ones.

This version is trial without addition license - 30 days trial if this version was not previously installed on this PC. With student license you can use this version 3 year.

So that means I simply have no option for student licence right? Because my system is 32 bit, and the newer versions are for 64 bit systems. No other alternative for me?

As far as I know there isn't alternative. But you can ask Autodesk Education support: http://www.autodesk.com/education/support/edu-contact-us-form

Ok then. Thanks for your time, although I am not satisfied and will look for the support here in autodesk community as well as outside. I don't understand why they block older versions of programs since they are no longer widely used. It's disappointing.
