I am a student at Collins College in Phoenix, AZ. I recently installed a new hard drive on my Laptop and tried to reinstall 3ds Max 2010 64 bit and tried to activate. It said that my license was expired. I believe this is due to my graduation date changing. I had to take a leave of absence for a semester and it pushed my grad date back from October, 2010 to May 28, 2010. As per advice from my instructor I went to the Autodesk site and downloaded the student trial for 2011. When I went and got it there was a message stating that Autodesk was not going to issue students the extended trial at this time. So it gave me the 30 day version and now that has run out. I would prefere to have my 2010 license activated, but will take the extended 2011 just to get through the rest of my school. I need this fast too so that I do not fall too far behind.
