Cannot activate 3DS Max trial

Hello.

 

I am having trouble activating the 30 day trial for 3DS Max 2016. I get no option to select "I want to try this product".

 

If I type in the product key (128H1) and any random serial number I get the message "A previously activated license for your product was found on this computer and is now in use". I can then finish the installation and launch the student version of Max 2016. 

 

Is it possible to remove old license data before installing so that I can get the 30 day trial instead of the student version?

You can remove the student license from that machine, but you will unlikely be able to run it as a trial version. 

 

But you can try.  The licenses are in a hidden folder here:

 

C:\ProgramData\Flexnet

 

Rename the adsk*.data files and then launch the software.  I suspect you will only be prompted to activate rather than trial. 

 

Good Luck!
