Student licence eligibility

Hello,

I am trying to find out if there is a legal way to download student version of either max and/or maya for some learning purposes/non-commercial use maybe updating reel etc.

I am not a student and I do work in the industry using both of these applications depending on a company. But when I want to play around with some new features or just explore some things I always wonder how can one do it if trial is just too short.

I have started looking up a way of signing up for courses just to get my hands on student versions of software but even this seams to be not legal by Autodesk definitions (even though websites tell you to go and download student version) and the only place that gives you legitimate access to software is fxphd when you buy their course. My understanding that it should be authorised uni/tafe in which case you are allowed to get a student software but if you want to learn/ explore but are not enrolled then what ?

I just wanted to clarify whether there is another way (please only legitimate and non shady type suggestions).

Thanks very much for your time.
Cheers,
Serge.

The only thing you need for the student version to be valid is the name of the school you are going to and the website. you get your own personal 3 year liscense. it doesn't ask for anything more.

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask the community or share your knowledge.
