Getting started with Maya?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm new to all this. I would like to get started with Maya and assume I need to download Maya 2014. Then do I need to do a license and where to go from there?
I'm looking around and reading the forum posts but just unsure how to get started, how to do the license and which training to start with.

Thanks for any help.

Hello and welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Are you a student at a degree/certificate granting educational institution? If so, you can download the free student version of Maya from the Autodesk Education Community. All you need to do is register and download the software. You'll be provided with a serial number to activate/license your product. 

If you're looking for the commercial version of Maya, you can purchase it directly from our E-Store.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!
