3ds max 2015 reinstall

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am student and last year i used 3ds max student version for practising. Now i'm at the point i want to start my own company in 3d visualisations. So i had to buy a commersion version of 3ds max. I bought 3ds max (desktop subscription) from a reseller mentioned by autodesk.

yesterday i got the downloadlinks in my emailbox and installed 3ds max from my profile on autodesk. Before i did that i unistalled my studentversion of 3ds max.

Now, when i'm starting 3ds max i've an issue show on the image on the attachment i added.

As you can see in the top of the screen it says: Autodesk 3ds Max 2015 - Student Version.

Why it says its a student version. I bought the desktopsubscription so i think something goes wrong??

Anyone knows why this happens?

Help > Autodesk Product Information > About 3ds Max. At the top of the resulting dialog it should tell you what version you have. In my case it says "17.0 SP3 Commercial".
You can also click the big button to "Access your Product License Information".
NB. Do not post a screenshot of either of those dialogs unless you hide/obfuscate your serial number!

Hi Steve,

i found out that in the Product Licence Information box i had to hit the activate button.

Now is says "17,0 SP1 commercial"

So i think my problem is solved!

Thanks for your help!

Except you don't have SP3. No need to d/l and install SP2 - they're cumulative.

In my profile acount these updates are available (atachment)

do i have to download them all?

And what will they enhance to 3ds max?

The Revit one was an Open SSL security fix - rolled into SP2 and therefore SP3 so no need to d/l it separately. As for what's in each SP you'll have to read the readme for each, but the SPs are cumulative so you only need SP3.
