Can I download Maya for personal learning purposes?

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 14:55:25 GMT

I had posted on this forum a couple days ago about a mistake made during the installation process. But I'd like to know, still, if I can download Maya without being a student in any university and without being a teacher. I would just really like to try and learn some things by myself and get somewhat used to the program while I'm not enrolled in any animation program yet. I'd not use the software for profit, but again, personal learning purposes.

Can I download it? If so, where? I'm not sure if it would be for free, and even if it isn't where can I purchase it?

Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

Short answer is No.

You need to be a student at a certified facility in order to have a student license and version of Maya which would be free to you. Since you are not, you can download a 30 day trial but once that is done you would need to purchase a license to continue using Maya. You can start your free trial here!
