Maya Installation
Stand-Alone Installation
The Maya Installation and Licensing guide provides instructions on how to prepare,
and then install Autodesk Maya. If you have never installed the product before,
you should familiarize yourself with the entire installation process and options
before beginning.
For information about network-licensed versions of the program, see
Choose
an installation type
on page 31.
Preparing for Installation
To prepare for installation, you should review the system requirements,
understand administrative permission requirements, locate your Maya serial
number and product key, and close all running applications. Complete these
tasks, and you are ready to begin installing Maya.
Refer to the following sections for more information on each installation
prerequisite.
Verify system requirements
The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets
the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these
requirements, problems can occur, both within Maya and at the operating
system level.
To review the requirements, see www.autodesk.com/qual-charts.
