Administrative Permission Requirements
To install Maya, you must have administrator permissions. You do not need
to have domain administrative permissions. See your system administrator
for information about administrative permissions.
You do not need administrator permissions to run Maya. You can run the
program as a limited user.
Locating Your Serial Number and Product Key
When you install Maya, you are prompted for your serial number and product
key in the Product and User Information page, or the option of installing the
product in trial mode. You may enter your product information at any time
during your trial mode period if you opt to install the product in that mode.
The serial number and product key are located on the outside of the product
packaging, or in the Autodesk
®
Upgrade and Licensing Information email.
Make sure to have these available before you install the program so that you
don't have to stop in the middle of the installation.
The serial number must contain a three-digit prefix followed by an eight-digit
number. The product key consists of five characters.
The information you enter is permanently retained with the product. Because
you can't change this information later without uninstalling, take care when
entering the information.
