How do I get free access to Autodesk products?

Updated on

The University of the Arts is unable to provide Maya licenses to personal machines. 

However, Autodesk does provide Maya and other software they make for free. University members are granted a year access as long as they are an active student/faculty or staff member and must be renewed every year. This article will walk you through the process...

Autodesk periodically updates their site's copy and layout—for more up to date instructions, please review their official article here.
