Autodesk Software Registration problems

[Kevin Thorp]

I seem to be hitting a brick wall trying to register multiple seats of 3ds Max. The Autodesk website wouldn't let me do it, and the customer service rep I talked to couldn't help me. His only suggestion was to search for FIRST Robotics on the Autodesk web site.

Has anyone else been sucessful registering multiple seats of 3ds Max? If so, how did you do it?

We have each of our students on our Animation Team log into the FIRST section of Autodesk's website and each get a key to use for our stations at the school. Unfortunately, I do not remember the link to that section at this time...

Some of our students have installed Max at home, so we can't use their license in our computer lab. I know Autodesk has a portable license utility but it's complicated, and I'm afraid the students will forget to run it before they come to the lab, so we'd have unusable computers.

In the past Autodesk allowed FIRST Teams to install multiple copies of 3ds Max with one serial number. I hope they allow that again this year, but it's very difficult to get information from them.
