In the installation wizard, for packages containing multiple products, you can
choose which products and languages you want to install. During the install
process, you are informed whether a copy of the software is already installed.
You are also warned if your system does not meet the minimum system
requirements for the product. Each product name is displayed on its own
tabbed panel; you can configure them individually.
If you purchased a package that is a multi-product bundle, such as an
educational or institutional package, you may have a package that includes
several Autodesk products. For these bundled packages, an Installer disc
contains information for all the products in the package. The Installer disc
helps you install all of the products. This includes a Readme which describes
issues general to the bundle or suite.
NOTE If you are installing Maya as part of a suite, it is recommended that you
refer to both the suite install guide and this install guide.
Register and Activate Maya
The first time you start Maya, the Product License Activation wizard is
displayed. You can either activate Maya at that time, or Try Maya and activate
it later. Until you register and enter a valid activation code for Maya, you are
operating the program in trial mode and the Product License Activation wizard
is displayed for 30 days from the first time that you run the program.
If after 30 days of running Maya in trial mode you have not registered and
provided a valid activation code, your only option is to register and activate
Maya. You will not be able to run in trial mode after the 30 days expires. Once
you register and activate Maya, the Product License Activation wizard is no
longer displayed.
The fastest and most reliable way to register and activate your product is by
using the Internet. Simply enter your registration information and send it to
Autodesk over the Internet. Once you submit your information, registration
and activation occur quickly.

1 Click the Start menu ➤ Programs or All Programs ➤ Autodesk ➤
