Issue

My temporary license or trial is about to expire or has expired and I have a permanent serial number that I need to install.

Solution

  1. On the computer where you want to update the license:

    Windows XP: Start > Programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Maya 2010 > License Transfer Utility.

    Windows Vista: Start > All Programs > Autodesk > Autodesk Maya 2010 > License Transfer Utility.

    Mac OS X or Linux: Double-click the License Transfer Utility shortcut.

    The Update the Serial Number and Product Key dialog box will display the Autodesk product name and serial number.

  2. In the Update the Serial Number and Product Key dialog box, enter the serial number and product key to update your Autodesk product. Click Update.

    The Import the License dialog box will now display the Autodesk product name and updated serial number.

  3. In the Import the License dialog box, click Sign In.

  4. On the Login page, enter your Autodesk user ID and password and click Log In.

  5. On the License Import Confirmation page, click Finish.  The license is now imported to the computer and you can run your Autodesk product on this computer.
