Hi
I recently downloaded and installed the trial version of Maya 2014. However, when I boot it up I get a screen that has two options "Run" and "Activate". The "Run" option is greyed out, leaving me with only one option, "Activate". I don't have a serial number because it's a trial version, so currently I have no way of trying the product out. I've tried downloading and re-installing the product several times but it hasn't helped. What do I need to do to get the trial working?
Cheers
Alan.
Hi Alan,
Did you previously have a trial of Maya 2014 installed on your computer? When was this trial version initially downloaded?
Thank you,
Hi Camilo
Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded and installed the app on the 9th May 2013. I can't recall exactly what I did after I installed it but I remember seeing an error 19 message and something about a standalone license (can't remember if I exited the app on first boot or whether it was like that straight from the off). So I thought to try installing it again. I removed the pit files and Adlm stuff in my user preferences (I'm on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8) and tried again. The first boot splash reappeared but only the option to "Activate" was available to me. I see the option for a 30 day trial in the installer but not in the boot up screen. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Alan.

Hi,
i have similar problem with Maya2013 trial - installing on a fresh system. The computer is virgin to Maya (to my best knowledge, but mileage may vary). How could i get it to start as trial?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Hi and thanks a lot for answering!
My task was to setup satellite rendering with Maya - the "satellites" do have to be set up as trial?
It is confusing as i do not understand how to properly set it up license wise. Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm also having the same problem but I have the Entertainment Suite Trial. I can use 3ds Max and Motion Builder but not Maya. It says the product I am using requires a serial number.
Thanks

I'm having exactly the same problems with my maya 2014 trial for mac. Could you help me resolve the problem as you did with the previous poster.
