Yes, good point Raffaele. We've talked about doing it that way too.

Ah interesting.

I noticed that you couldn¹t download Maya Linux education site, so I wondered 
if educators would of obtained Linux through there Autodesk ARC accounts 
instead. Perhaps not.

I double checked to correct myself and you can run Maya Linux in Standalone 
license, but perhaps with education the Standalone activation doesn¹t work for 
the reasons mentioned.

I shall defer to Jill though.

Though this will have to be Network licensed, as Standalone

can just point to the server.

Hello! We are planning on offering a linux version of AnimSchool
Picker for Maya.
www.animschool.com/pickerInfo.aspx
We don't have any linux licenses of Maya, and they don't offer them
through Autodesk's educational program,  so we're not sure how to
proceed.

We just need to know if we can rent Maya on linux --long enough to
compile AnimSchool Picker. I called and chatted Autodesk and got
different responses from different people.

Any Autodesk people here know?

Thanks,
Dave G

Re: subscription for maya on linux

[Cesar Saez]

You can register a brand new student/mentor license in linux without
issues, it just works, there might be issues when transferring/reactivating
an existing license though (and no one at support seems to know how their
licensing system works in linux, ie request code vs long_code xml file and
so on).
