Maya 2019.3.1 Material/Texture Baking Editors menu option not in Maya - please help! :(

[john.laska]

I have a brand-new machine with a fresh network install of Maya 2019.3.1 from my organization (education). The issue is that the menu item listed here: Texture Baking Settings window | Maya LT 2019 | Autodesk Knowledge Network ; specifically "Navigate to Windows > Material / Texture Baking Editors > Texture Baking Settings." does not exist!

I have enabled the TURTLE plugin. (In fact, I have enabled every plugin.)

I have reset Maya's preferences and even removed the "prefs" folder altogether so it can be started fresh again.

I have also tried repairing the installation, uninstalling/reinstalling, and nuking the machine and installing everything again fresh; didn't make any difference.

The Output window shows this on startup:

I am completely at a loss as to why this is not showing up - any suggestions?

SOLVED - hopefully this will help someone else out in the future!

The difference is that the Material/Texture Baking Editors menu option is only available is Maya 2019 **LT**, not Maya 2019 (full-fat). 

Sooooooo if you are looking up tutorials or documentation, verify the version of Maya you are using first!
