Activation check

How to know if my product has been verified or activated for the 3 year terms usage? (MAYA 2016)

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the community!

Great question! I assume you are referring to the an educational license. It will actually be listed in your Autodesk Account. Additionally, if you are able to use the license in the product, it means it has been activated.

Sorry.... Still didn't get it... Like... I got into my account... Into the
account management... And I can see MAYA 2016 listed there and it's serial
number and other information about it. Does it mean it's activated? And yes
I was referring to the educational license. How do I use the license in the
product. I have started using the product... But I don't know if it is on
trial period or fully activated for 3 years.

Hi @Anonymous,

Yes, you have received the license. At the top of the program your status is indicated.

If you have activated the educational license, it will state: 'STUDENT VERSION' This will not ask you to activate when opening the program.

If you are still on the trial, it will state 'UNREGISTERED VERSION' This will ask you to 'activate' when opening the program. Hit activate and type in your serial number and product key provided within your account under management, then click 'next'.

Hi @Anonymous,

There are a bunch of articles about Maya in the learn & explore area. You can also find Maya tutorials here, try using the left hand column to limit the searches to something like 'getting started'.

If you are looking for in person training or certification, try checking out our training and certification page.

Hope this helps, the community is also a great place to ask questions by creating a new thread and to search for information.
