Where can I download the 3ds max 2016 installer? I have a legitimate license. My very busy system admin says just download the installer from the website why are you relying on me to find it. But I can't find it to download . Help?

Hello bensharpe001

It looks like you need to find out more about downloading or re-downloading software, or are having issues that may be resolved by re-downloading.

Hi there. Thanks fro your reply. When I go to do download finder it tells me I have downloaded the student version ( which I had done out of desperation to finish a render ) When this installs it doesn't allow me to enter a legitimate commercial license number. Where can I download an installer that asks me for a license number that I can enter. Not the student version.

Thanks

Ben

First of all if you went to the Autodesk Educational site and downloaded the application on a machine that is used in a commercial setting/office that you better remove that product or your company can get fined. Perform a clean uninstall per these instructions. Just make sure to adjust settings if you have other Autodesk products already installed/working on your machine.

Then Download and install per:

1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.
2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

If you want the full recommended installation steps, click on the installation link in my signature.

However if the installation does fail using this method, please post your installation log file here so we can review it. Posting info: Sometimes installation log files contain personal information such as your serial #. Prior to posting your log file please make sure to remove such info.

Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.
