After installing Maya '12, the activation screen shows up in Japanese and I can't change it!
I tried re-downloading the setup, but it always says "Maya English-Japanese". I can't activate it in Japanese because it asks for Japan-oriented information, and there is no help or Lang. change anyway! I'm running out of options.
Is there any way to change it to English?
You can may choose Add/Remove Features in Control Panel > Programs and uncheck the Japanese option. Otherwise, I would uninstall and reinstall using the default Maya 2012 settings.
You can get the activation code by visiting https://register.autodesk.com in your web browser. If it's still in Japanese then try with Firefox.
