When downloading they ask for an educational institution because it is a free software to students for 1 year. You need to follow the instructions below.
Autodesk allows for many educational institutions to be used for downloading of their Maya software. Students must be 13. We are now an APPROVED Educational Institution!!! Follow their instructions to set up an account and use “The Animation Course” (Colbert) to get approved. We are under “University-Post-Secondary Education” for some reason. You may need our address as well, so ask me for that when you email me about the certificate. Let Kayla know that you need a “Certificate of Enrollment” to prove that you are a student of our courses. Contact us at kayla@theanimcourse.com to ask any questions. You will also need a 3-button mouse for Maya.
