I RESTORED MY PC

[leonelgrimolizzi02]

 Hi! I had to restore my pc from factory and I've save the folders and now I installed again de Autodesk desktop but I can't see my programs that are 3D Max and Maya. Someone knows how can I activate them without reinstalling everything again? 

Thank you and I hope your answer.

what does this mean: I installed again de Autodesk desktop but I can't see my programs that are 3D Max and Maya

Someone knows how can I activate them without reinstalling everything again

you can't activate the software if you don't have anything installed this makes no sense

You know when I tried to open the Autodesk desktop I can't and downloaded again it. Previously I put the folders where they were but 3d max and Maya don't open. 

I hope you understand me

There's a lot more to software these days than having some files in named folders.  The installation process creates and registers links that allow the program to run and supporting functions, such as licensing, to work.  When you do a system wipe/reset you need to also do a full re-install as well as license activation.  About the only thing you don't have to do is download the installer again, provided you have it backed up somewhere (which you should, for disaster recovery).
