Hi There,
My son uses 3ds max 2014 (student license)(SP5) on his windows 8 64bit laptop. When activation didn't work as expected he simply used it all through the trial period hoping that the problem would go away, or that his dad would fix it. Well dad tried and tried... but nothing worked.
My first thought was that it had something to do with IE10 security settings so I de-installed IE10 only to find out that in win8 it is not possible to downgrade to IE9... I've tried every solution I could find on-line but like I said nothing worked. My son needs the program for school (he's studing to be a game designer) and now he can't use it and he's starting to show signs of a mild panic... That'll teach him! But it would be nice if we could get your software to run the way you intended it to run! Is there a fix, a workaround or maybe a patch that would solve this inconvenience?
Thanks in advance!
