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

Yes, Greg's videos are very in-depth.

Maya has always had good stuff in it. Using it consistently is the issue. I

The tools themselves are not the issue. Maya really needs to stop trying to

Hi David
To the best of my knowledge, you can 'rent' Maya on Linux, certainly here in

I have also started using XnView, but it doesn't handle video previews.

Doing a little research this afternoon. Xnview has one big problem as far
as I can tell. If you try to favorite a network folder, it favorites it,

I might be taking back what I said about Zoner.
I've been testing it FastStone today, along with continuing to use
Bridge. Zoner honestly does a really good job of being not just a fewer,
but an organizer. It's basically a cross between Bridge, Lightroom and
XnView.
It handles video, vectors,
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
XNview here, previously acdsee. ive tried zoner and ifran and bridge,
xnview just works well for me. remap the mouse to scroll images, put
thumbnails at 192x192m change background to dark grey (turning off
thumbnail shadow etc) and its quick too.
I purely use image viewers as just that though,

As far as I have been able to ascertain... (don't shoot me if I end up being
wrong please!), your EDU license should work with Linux, but reasons that are
not currently clear, the download is not posted. You should be able to obtain
the executable here:
And in doing so you demonstrated a recalcitrant resistance to change
improvement and bettering of the package, for any reason. Further consernes
