Hi,
I had the student version installed previously and removed it so I could replace it with the trial. It didn't work so I removed everything I could find that was related to 3ds Max and installed the trial again. Still the same problem. It keeps asking me for the product key/serial number as if I bought it normally.
Maybe the trial isn't working because I had the student version installed previously?
I have never heard of an educational license. The only thing I know is that we have the opportunity to buy licenses the 20th of september and 11th of october at our school at reduced prices so we can upgrade our programs to the normal versions. But since the trial doesn't work and we can't use the student version I can't do any of my assigments or practice for about 2 weeks.
If this problem doesn't get sorted out soon, I will have to contact my teachers and work something out but I'd rather not since it is illegal to use the student version in their classes or something like that, I'm not sure.
Hopefully I don't have to buy 3ds Max outside of school because I noticed that it's pretty expensive (we get it for about 150 euro).
EDIT: I just noticed that when I open the "License Transfer Utility" it does say that I have a trial license. Am I supposed to have a key? I figured you wouldn't need to for a trial.
