Installing Maya on new PC

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 21:35:59 GMT

Hey, Everybody! I'm in the need of some help! Currently, I'm a student with a student account only using Maya. I've just moved across the country without my home computer as I'm building a new pc for my new place. I should have looked into this before leaving but I had other things on my mind. What I need help with is that I was planning to download Maya onto my new PC but I've seen forums saying you have to remove Maya first before downloading it onto a new device. Is this correct? I'm not wanting to travel the whole way back just to remove Maya... Can you do anything similar to Adobe where you can view which devices you have a software installed and then remove or block them? Can somebody give me some advice for my situation? Thank you!

Students are allowed to install on 2 devices so you are okay. But what happened to your machine? Does someone else have the machine?
