Maya student License to Commercial License. 2020 - any updates?

Anonymous — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 11:48:17 GMT

Hello everyone! Thanks for taking your time to read and asnwer my question 😄

So! I've went through a few of the forums regarding this question from the past - but I still wanted to ask now, at 2020 to see if there are any changes.

I'm working under a studio which has a Maya "stand alone commercial" License, but I myself do not have one - I have a student license.

If I work on creating assets from home on my student license.. can I somehow convert them or add them to the commercial account?

Can I somehow use/transfer my student license account assets to the studios Stand alone commerical account?

If there are any question or i'm not clear enough feel free to tell me 😄

Thanks for reading and helping!

Hi @Anonymous,

As Ryan has said this is not possible, you are bound by the educational terms: Free Autodesk software and/or cloud-based services are subject to acceptance of and compliance with the terms and conditions of the software license agreement or terms of service that accompany such software or cloud-based services. Software and cloud-based services subject to an Educational license may be used solely for Educational Purposes and shall not be used for commercial, professional, or any other for-profit purposes.

Being able to convert from Student to Commercial would violate this clause as well as leave the system open to abuse.
