I have tried downloading the Autodesk service pack 4 and nothing changed. Do I need to uninstall maya then install the service pack? Will someone please lay out step by step what I need to do to fix this. I am right in the middle of getting my demo reel together for graduation portfolio show and I need this to work. Thanks for your help in advance!
I have the same issue on Windows 7. I've already installed the autodesk programs with my student licence on another computer but it I'm not using it anymore since I bought a new working station. Do I have to "release" the licence on the old computer in order to use it on my new one?!
yea I solved it. You need to export the license on the old machine. You can do that with the "License export utility" in your Autodesk/Autodesk Maya 2014 folder.
The license will be uploaded automatically onto the autodesk server and you can import it on your new machine. Not really difficult but it took me a long time to figure this out...
hope this helps!
