"Unable to authorise user" - Maya 2016 - El Capitan

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

We are having trouble installing Maya 2016 on OSX El Capitan, as it keeps passing off the 'Unable to Authorize User" error during installation (see link below for similar image).

We have tried several solutions, no firewalls, checking permissions and the 'Root User' mentioned here to no avail.

Is there an updated solution, or issue with El Capitan running Maya 2016?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as we're unable to progress without our student without it. Possibly a direct download link to the installer or workaround? 

Regards,

Steve
