I'm having the same problem. I followed all the steps exactly. The dock icon bounces for about a minute, then it hangs and registers as not responding. Fortunately, 2012 is still working just fine for me, so I can stick to using that for the time being, but still, this is rather annoying.
If you followed the steps exactly, it would have forced Maya 2012 to re-activate. If Maya 2012 is on Mavericks via an upgrade, it will work. If you install Maya 2012 (clean) on Mavericks, it will not run. We basically patched the licensing libraries in 2014 to work (Standalone).
My concern for you is that if you backup then delete the .data file, it will basically make Maya 2012 not work but it should make Maya 2014 work. Don't follow the steps correctly and both will be inoperable. It is a catch 22.
So I redid all of this, once again making sure to follow every step to the letter. I even deleted 2012 for good measure. The exact same thing is happening. I'm thinking about going through the whole procedure one more time and recording a video of it so you can see how well I'm following your instructions and this new problem. I'm no longer getting error 110, but that's because I'm getting no response from the program at all.
Hello,
So I've followed all the instructions three times... and the icon just keeps bouncing and it won't let me do anything.... not sure what else to do...
Thanks for your help!
Hello Danielle and welcome to the Autodesk Community!
So sorry you're experiencing activation issues. This problem can often be resolved by re-downloading your product from a different location, such as our Virtual Agent.
Please let me know if you need any additional assistance.
Thank you!
Hello! I am having this same issue except with Maya LT 2014. I am running Mavericks and am unable to activate. I bought a rental license last night and have my license information.
I followed the instructions in the blog posts throughout this thread most notably removing Maya completely from my machine. Upon doing that and reinstalling I did get a different prompt to activate but when I clicked the Activate button I got the same error message as before. Error code 110 and then another popup with what seems like INI settings errors. I've attached that popup.
Any advice for Maya LT 2014? Is it possible it hasn't been updated for Mavericks like Maya 2014 SP3 has?
Thank you.
I fixed it. I wasn't aware there was an SP1 release. The "Browser Download" button in the account section just downloads the original release I guess. It really should be changed to download the SP1 instead.
Anyways, SP1 fixed the activation issue for Maya LT 2014 on Mavericks.
It's the same deal with me. None of the commands in Terminal are seeming to work. It might be OSX Mavericks fault though...
The problem I am having with these steps outlined steps is that I can't turn Time Machine On & Step4 assumes I can actiavte the product.
For Time Machine, I cant turn it on because It asks for a location: at which point I dont have one.
Also, Step4 assumes that you can reactivate the software. After following steps 1, 2 and 3 perfectly I am still met with the same 110 error, and it doesnt allow activation (this was the problem in the first place).
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks

You must uninstall and reinstall SP3 as noted here:
You will need to add an exception to Time Machine to not backup a particular file.
Let's be honest. These instuctions do not work.
Autodeks Maya 2014 Update SP3, Autodesk Maya 2013 SP2 and Maya LT 2014 SP1.
They are impossible to install.
The proof is easy. Show a video of how iinstall in Mavericks.
We want'll see evidence of the installation.
Can someone post a video on all the steps?
Im a better visual learner and also im new to OSX
I made a completely new install of Mavericks. Ther first program that I have install is Maya 2014 sp3. The same 110 error. You must recognize that the update sp3 does not work. Please make a new update immediately and stop in explain how to uninstall and reinstall maya, that do not lead anywhere. Only to lose our valuable time.
