Re: Big Thanks to Everyone!

There are a few handy (and legal) options to run 3ds Max on more tha 5 computers.

1. The "Portable License Utility" disables Max on one computer but enables it on another. Useful if you have Max running on your work/school computer but want to do some work at home (or vice-versa). You need admin rights to run the PLU.

2. You can install an older version of Max on as many computers as you want - for 30 days, then install a newer version for 30 more days. Assuming Autodesk releases Max 2009 next year and you have versions 8, 9 and 2008 you could install ver. 8 in mid-October and "upgrade" each month right up to the competition deadline in mid-February.

3. As I've wrote earlier, students can buy a 14-month license of Max 2008 for only $195. That's less than 50 cents per day.
