Installation & Licensing

[#1]

From what I understand, most of the programs Autodesk currently has available are not ready for Lion.  I don't mind waiting, because I know Autodesk has never let me down. However I am curious as to when this issue will be updated so I know when I can try this download again.

Hi:

We currently do not have the information available as to when. However, you may always refer to our website www.autodesk.com for updates.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Hi i have a new MacBook pro with mac os x lion I have installed maya 2010 on it because thats the version my college use. The program works but is very slow every time I press a tool or move something it takes a few seconds to do something. Is there anyway of fixing this without upgrading the version of maya. Please reply as I cannot find an answer anywhere thanks.

When this problem is fixed, will maya have to be re-downloaded? I have rather expensive internet so downloading maya has cost quite a lot...

And can anyone provied an approximate date for when the patch/upgrate will be ready? I understand there's really no choice right now but to wait, but if it's going to take more than a few months then I'm a little bit screwed...

Can you say more about how to upgrade Mental Ray and HF3?

I'm a bit of a newbie to Maya and am finding it beach balls on me quite a bit.  Yes, I have OS 10.7.3. And some aspects of my install appeared to "Fail on Exit" although the green check boxes did appear in the install dialogue box.

Hmmm.  And how come it's been a year since all of these posts and the Maya folks have not seen fit to fix the compatibility issue with Lion? Do I detect a bit of them not caring about us Mac users?

Thanks, all, for any help you can give.  Help me stop seeing the beach ball so often.
