Ive found that it is very different. The thing I like about it over 3ds Max, the student/personal edition is free. And while it does put an ugly watermark on that is quite a small price to pay to learn such a powerful software (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...112&id=7639525)

Back to the topic at hand, a quick google search revealed several threads on Apple and Autodesk forums saying that this is an issue.

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...linkID=9240818 is the hot fix that is suggested in the thread. I cannot recall if this is what I originally set up 3ds with (This was close to a year ago) My suggestion, try that. If it doesnt help run a couple google searches (3ds max and boot camp licensing issues) There are dozens of forums with potential solutions. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Reasoning, Mac's have Sata controllers in them if I recall, (Least my MBP does) the hot fix I linked to is due to a problem with Autodesk's licensing and the Sata controllers, this does not appear to be a boot camp issue.
