Joana8 (2007-01-18)

How to work Maya 8.5?? I need a serial from this program but the crack didn't work for me.

art420 (2007-01-18)

3) Make a folder in your home drive called "FlexLM" and place the contents of the "Crack" directory in it.
4) Run "FlexLM License Utilities" and find your Ethernet Address.
5) Open the file "aw.dat" with Wordpad and change "your_host" to whatever your Ethernet Address is without the quotes. Then change 7.000 to 8.000. Save.
6) Drag and drop the aw.dat on the awkeygen file.
7) Run Maya.

Jesus Kristus (2007-02-01)

sanjayayogi: Got the same error, found the same link and tried the same procedure. In the end I just downloaded InstallScript v.11, cause I think the 12 is Vista-exclusive. Finally I downloaded and installed this version instead:

bookki (2007-02-02)

For everyone with InstallScript engine problem:
Autodesk_Maya_8.5_Unlimited_Win32 works only with InstallScript v8.1.0.304 which you can not find on
I've tried every InstallScript from that URL and nothing helped
I've solved this by running first step of Maya 8.0 installation and than canceled further installation....
That's how I've got PROPER InstallScript - v8.1.0.304.....

Lanceman (2007-02-08)

I'm stuck at step 7 "7. Using the run utility and type: awkeygen.exe aw.dat". . What do you mean with this. Where should I type this? Somewhere in LMTOOLS?

bookki (2007-02-10)

Using the run utility(goto start-->run) and type with quotes: "C:\FLEXLM\awkeygen.exe" "C:\FLEXLM\aw.dat"

If your file extension is .bc! that mean you're not finished torrent download, .bc! is part file extension.

KenGuy5472 (2007-03-16)

Ok, first of all props to mbow for such a kickass VIRUS-FREE torrent. Second of all, I understood bookki's instructions perfectly, except for something that a few people may still be suffering from:
Editing aw.dat's ethernet address.
All you have to do is copy the FIRST HALF of the address, not both, and paste it over the zeros.
It's that simple. Cheers. :p

I'm getting a popup that says the InstallShield engine is not installed on my machine......I've downloaded the ISScript.msi, ran it and nothing. I downloaded the .rar file that Booki mentioned and still nothing. If anyone has any helpful info on how to get this installed, I would be grateful. Thanks.

guitargodleach (2007-03-24)

Ok, got it to install and everything, now I'm having a problem with the .dat file. I do everything as instructed and it says that the .dat file has invalid data. What's up with that?

At the bottom of the page is a link to setup file. Just run it and then run the Maya script.

civi2345 (2007-07-16)

liscensing is not working. It says installation complete and then will not start up.

killer93yo (2007-07-23)

Where can I find my ethernet adresse?

josy666 (2007-07-25)

That's true, to make it works, just copy/past ONLY the first part of the HOSTID (without the quotes) during the Lincencing process.
It's worked for me under VISTA 32b.

civi2345 (2007-07-30)

It was working fine for me and then the licensing stopped working. When i checked the common utilities my ethernet address said ffffffff. I can't change it and need help. Someone please tell me how to get it working again.

mxman (2007-08-01)

Sirhc405 (2007-09-14)

Hi everybody, I got as far as the browse for licence bit but when i select aw.dat it says "The file contains invalid data. Line one has unrecongnized format." Anyone know how to stop this? PS: for anyone with the script problem, just download the PLE version from autodesk website and then install that before this version. (should be able to uninstall PLE version after installed this version)

Sirhc405 (2007-09-14)

OOOOOHHHH you have to put the eathernet adress in every 000000000 space, thanks for the help guys, lol. IT WORKS!

masterattila (2007-09-15)

Important: ignore the "" signs!
I assume you have extracted the "awkeygen.exe" and "aw.dat" files from the "WinRAR archive" to the desktop!
1. After you installed "Maya" click on "Start" -> "All Programs" -> "Autodesk" -> "Common Utilities" -> "FlexLM License Utilities"

2. Under "System Settings" copy the code from "Ethernet Address" to the "aw.dat" file and save, (you must open it with wordpad to do this!)
Normally it will look like this:
FEATURE MayaUnltd sgiawd 2008 permanent uncounted 0 \
HOSTID=your_host
Insert the "Ethernet Address" replacing the "your_host" to:
FEATURE MayaUnltd sgiawd 2008 permanent uncounted 0 \
HOSTID=001a92d7e859
Remember that "001a92d7e859" is my "Ethernet Address" so it will not work for you!

3. Inside your "Local Disk" (C:) drive create a folder named "FlexLM" and send "awkeygen.exe" there.
4. Drag and drop the "aw.dat" file you just edited on top of "awkeygen.exe" then double click on the "awkeygen.exe".
5. Now click on "Start" -> "All Programs" -> "Autodesk" -> "Autodesk Maya 2008" -> "Licensing" select "I have a license that I need to install." -> "Next" -> "Next" -> "Browse" find aw.dat located on the desktop click "Select" -> "Next" and you're done! Enjoy.

anonymousmonk187 (2007-10-12)

When I try to open maya 8.5 I get a pop-up that says something like "Fatal Error. Attempting to save in then the "Autodesk Maya Error Report" comes up (which I just exit it out of). I've tried installing it twice, no idea what to do.

working (arbeider) :D

tigerace123 (2010-01-10)

For those who have the isscript.msi error problem:
1. Download the free trial version of Maya PLE (PLE = Personal Learning Edition)
2. Install Maya PLE
3. Now you can install Maya 8.5 from this torrent without the stupid isscript.msi error

PRIIEETY (2012-05-02)

just drag awkeygen.exe file over aw.dat file and then use dat file as your license
