Models Created By Unlicensed/Non-commercial Versions Of Maya

Hello, everyone

 

Me and a few friends are planning on making a game to be sold later on. Some of my friends have already made models from maya , the thing is im not really sure what kind of licenses they're using so here is my question:

 

Does using models ,created by unlicensed or non-commercial Maya product , in a commercially licensed Maya would put us in a legal risk when the product is sold using those models ?

Not allowed, just as you suspected.
Fix it now or get sued for millions later when you all hit the jackpot off non-commercial software licenses

By "fix it now" you mean we should remake the models in commercial version ?
and how can we (or autodesk) tell if the model was created in non-commercial version ?

Correct, for your commercial gain you need to pony-up for commercial licenses and create content only in those programs. I believe you can lease MAYA as opposed to a full license purchase http://www.autodesk.com/products/autodesk-maya/buy

You'll need to confirm in the MAYA forum (not here), other Autodesk software get a stamp on all printed output denoting EDU software was used with those objects.
