Hello 

I am new to the Autodesk products 

I am trying to install Maya 2016 on Windows 7 but i keep getting this error every time  and i don't know how to solve it

You need full access to that directory so licensing will work. Log in as an Administrator and/or give yourself full control of that directory and file within.

Honestly its messed up how autodesk dont help us with this.

After hours on google i found that i needed to "take ownership" of the autodesk folder (C: > program data > autodesk)  after taking its ownership it worked.  take a look on this video on yputube (final part of the link only)  watch?v=PiSH7hNZ9GY
