How would I re-activate/re-download my student version of Maya?

[greekgooner]

Hi, 

Not sure if this is the correct department.

Last year (around Oct/Nov) I installed Maya 2016, 3 year student version.

This week I am looking to update my BIOS so I need to reinstall my Windows 10, thus all my softwares..with Maya 2016 (and even 2015 student version) being one of them.

How would I re-activate/re-download my student version of Maya?

Thanks

Just log into your Autodesk Account and grab your student information (serial #/product key) for your product.  Then download/install per these steps:

Download and install per:

1.  Clean out your personal temp (%temp%) folder.  Set Windows UAC to never notify, full admin rights, and if possible disable your Anti-Virus/Malware scanning utilities. Also the download should occur over a hard wired connection to the Internet and not over WIFI.

2. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.

3. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
4. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
5. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
6. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
7. Follow the installation steps for your product.  At this point you could cancel the installation or create a deployment.

Activate your product upon launch.

Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.
