Maya version 2013 no available

[SebastianOsborn]

 Okay, so I realized that after purchasing the Professional Version of Maya, I had to wait till it was done processing.  But now I have another problem.  It will only let me download versions 2014-2016.  I don't have a 64 bit computer yet.  How am I suppose to work for my client if I can't even produce anything since I can't use the 2013 Professional Version?  Now, I do have the Student Version of Maya 2013.  May I use this version temporarily for commercial content until I get my new computer and then I can download the 2015 Professional Version?  You may say, "You can't do that."  But I did purchase Maya, so technically, I should be allowed to.  Any help would be much appreciated!

You cannot use the EDU version to create content for commercial purposes.  Full stop.  No exceptions.

Everybody these days has a "64 bit computer".  What matters is the operating system.  You should be able to easily install an x64 version of your current operating system, although that would mean re-installing and licensing the other software.  Its a good time to do so as many high-level programs are now only available as x64 (and you will need the RAM it provides access to), and most smaller x32 programs will still run on an x64 OS.
