Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

You can't. You can go current version - 3 if subscribing, but old versions are no longer available.

Best Regards,

Hey there!

Those really early versions sometimes show up on ebay - of course their only value is as a collector's item - but I have picked up a few over the years. I'm a bit of a collector of old software like that. 🙂

@Diffus3dis right on about not finding any versions that old through Autodesk.

Hello!

Although "legacy" copies of 3ds Max or 3D Studio for MS-DOS can't really be installed and authorized today, the old boxed copies are interesting as historical items. (Especially the packaging and the printed docs.)

Also, if want to see how it all began, please check out this page, A Visual History of 3ds Max! This shows the evolution of 3ds Max from its MS-DOS-based predecessor, and it's fun reading!

Thank care,
