Hello. If you are ready to start making money, you need a paid version. Not sure what you are doing specifically, but MAYA LT may be useful for you- being a student, it is a less expensive program. Just a thought.
Thank you for taking part in our community!
or you can look at renting a license

I've been looking for this answer too ! What i thought of is using other software and use OBJ formats. Not sure how the textures would be affected by other programs. But once your obj is open source it's legal. I think. How about mixing up two softwares? By the way, i'm using Maya Student version 2014
read the license agreement agin
it states what the student license is supposed to be used for

Legally enforceable? Maybe, maybe not. Ethical? Definitely not. The problem isn't how to get rid of any kind of flag, watermark, or setting, but that it was created by software provided freely for the purpose of personal education. That doesn't go away, no matter how hard you scrub.
They *really* need to bring back dedicated ethics classes in school...
woow. thank you so much for taking some time, and making a clear answer 🙂 this gives me some relief on some stuff i wasn't sure of.
Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..
Are you a student or educator/mentor (of a qualified educational institution)? Or looking for a commercial license

This is an old topic,
but it might help some people to know that Autodesk has a lighter version of Maya, Maya LT, to which you can subscribe monthly or yearly.
Right now Maya LT is about 30$/month which isn't too bad considering the original price of a license. HOWEVER make sure to check the features list, as this is not Maya's full version.
But for people like me who have tried Blender and didn't like the way it works after spending many years in Maya, this is a nice alternative (not saying Blender is bad, but when you've enjoyed Maya's efficiency, Blender feels kind of sad).
Hope this can help some people.
Just pay attention to what they say dude... you will fail in life when you ignore the rules bro. 😟🙁
yea, be careful what you try to achieve or is it really worth it, how much you put hours into it, maybe try couple of times and see WHAT HAPPENS.
