    A: Yes, Maya Complete 2009 and Maya Unlimited 2009 licenses will continue to
    be available for purchase.
    Note: Maya Complete 2009 and Maya Unlimited 2009 kits sold after August 18, 2009 (the expected
    ship date of Maya 2010) will not be eligible for either Autodesk Subscription or Autodesk Subscription

    2009 to Maya 2010 will be available. Please consult your local Autodesk channel partner for
    additional information.



    Q: Will Maya 2010 be available in languages other
    than English?
    A: Yes, Maya 2010 will also be available in Japanese.


    Q: What technical support options are available for
    Maya 2010?
    A: Customers purchasing new licenses of Maya software will receive Autodesk’s
    standard 30-day complimentary Up & Ready Support from the date of product
    registration. This support is limited to installation, licensing, and hardware
    configuration issues only.
    Customers with Autodesk Subscription with Gold Support for Maya are entitled to
    additional 24x5 technical product support based on the operating hours of
    Autodesk’s various support centers.
    Note: Support in languages other than English is provided where available but is not guaranteed.



    Q: Will there be any licensing changes with Maya
    2010?
    A: Yes, all Maya 2010 licenses now use the Autodesk License Manager (AdLM).
    Previous Maya Complete and Maya Unlimited licenses will be replaced with a
    single Maya 2010 license when upgrading.
    Note: Only one license is required and used for all Maya 2010 components: the Maya 3D animation
                                           ®
    software, Maya Composite, Autodesk MatchMover™, and mental ray Batch for Maya. Backburner
    does not require a license to operate.



    Q: Can I choose not to install either the Maya
    Composite, MatchMover, Backburner or Batch
    components?
    A: Yes. When installing Maya 2010, customers can select which Maya
    components they wish to install. Uninstalled components can be installed at a
    later date.
Q: Can I choose to install the Maya Composite or
MatchMover components on a different
workstation?
A: No. These components require and use the same license as the Maya 2010
3D animation software and must be installed on the same workstation.


Q: Can I choose to install the Backburner or Batch
components on a different workstation?
A: Yes. Customers can install the Backburner software and mental ray for Maya
Batch nodes on any supported Maya configuration and operating system.
Note: mental ray for Maya Batch will be only available with a network license.



Q: Will Maya 2010 be available for purchase as a
Network license?
A: Yes. Please note that while network licenses can be used on any supported
workstation configuration on the network (Windows®, Mac OS® X, and Linux®
operating systems), the Maya 2010, Maya Composite and MatchMover
components all share the same license and cannot be used concurrently on
different workstations.


Q: Does the switch to AdLM impact licensing of
previous Maya versions?
A: Customers with entitlement to use previous versions of Maya through the
Autodesk Subscription program who would like to use versions prior to Maya
2010 will need to continue using the previous licensing system. The Autodesk
License Manager (AdLM) can only be used with Maya 2010. Customers on
Subscription or Subscription with Gold Support who are entitled to use previous
versions in conjunction with Maya 2010 will have to use a separate license file.
Previous version licensing of Maya can be done through the Subscription Center
or eligible customers can use their existing license file to unlock previous
versions.


Q: Will Maya 2010 be available with hardware
dongle support?
A: No. Autodesk’s Online License Transfer system provides a flexible alternative
to hardware dongles.


Q: What is the Online License Transfer system?
A: The Online License Transfer system is a flexible and convenient web-based
mechanism for customers to transfer their licenses to different machines without
requiring the physical transfer of a dongle. It is available at no charge to all
standalone license customers and there is no limit on the number of transfers
that can be made.
Q: How does the Online License Transfer system
work?
A: You log on to the Online License Transfer system using a web interface where
you can then de-activate your software license on your current computer before
re-activating it on a different one.


Q: Can dongles for Maya 2009 (or certain prior
versions) continue to be purchased for use with
prior versions of Maya after the expected release
of Maya 2010?
A: No. Customers will only be able to purchase dongles up until Maya 2010
starts shipping. If after that date you need to move your license to another
workstation you will need to upgrade to a Maya 2010 standalone license and use
the Online License Transfer system.


Q: Can a dongle purchased for use with Maya
2009 (or certain prior versions) be returned for a
refund after upgrading to Maya 2010?
A: No. You will need your dongles to use Maya 2009 or certain prior versions if
you have prior version usage rights.


Q: Will customers be able to get the pre-license
through a webkey/prekey file?
A: No. This functionality is not available with Maya 2010 because it uses the
pervious license security system. Customers can still find these files on the
Support site for Maya 2009 and certain prior versions.



Q: What operating systems will be supported for
Autodesk Maya 2010 32-bit?
A: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business (SP1 or higher), Microsoft® Windows®
XP Professional (SP2 or higher), and Apple® Mac OS X 10.5.7 operating systems
or higher. For a list of the latest operating systems supported please refer to the
qualification charts at: http://usa.autodesk.com/qual-charts.


Q: What operating systems will be supported for
Autodesk Maya 2010 64-bit?
A: Microsoft Windows Vista Business (SP1 or higher), Microsoft Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition (SP2 or higher), Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 5.3 WS or
higher, and Fedora™ 8 operating systems. For a list of the latest operating
systems supported please refer to the qualification charts at:
http://usa.autodesk.com/qual-charts.
Note: Maya 2010 will also be expected to be capable of running on other configurations such as
boutique distributions of Linux. However, enumerating systems that are not tested and cannot be
supported or that fall below the requirements for a productive user experience is beyond the scope of
the online qualification charts.
Q: Will Autodesk Maya 2010 be available as a
         Universal binary?
         A: No. Maya 2010 runs natively on Intel® processor-based Macintosh®
         computers only.


         Q: Is the Mac OS X release of Maya 2010 64-bit?
         A: No. There will not be a 64-bit version of Maya 2010 available for Mac OS X.

rs       Q: Are there any changes to rendering in Maya
beyond   2010?
 ctly    A: Maya 2010 uses the latest mental ray® 3.7.5x renderer core library and
         includes five additional mental ray for Maya Batch rendering nodes. Each Maya
         seat now enables artists to use other networked computers to render their
         sequences faster. The Backburner network render queue manager is intended to
         be included to help those with smaller rendering pipelines manage the process;
         larger facilities are expected to be able to integrate the additional mental ray for
         Maya nodes with their existing render management software.


         Q: Will printed manuals be included in the
         package?
         A: Autodesk no longer ships printed documentation with its software products in
         an effort to reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainability in design
         and manufacturing. In doing so Autodesk has significantly reduced the 1.1 million
         manuals (360 metric tons) that it used to produce each year. Maya
         documentation is available in electronic form on the installation DVD and for
         download from the Maya product center (www.autodesk.com/maya-
         documentation ). For more information on Autodesk’s sustainability initiatives visit
         http://usa.autodesk.com/company/sustainability-report.


         Q: Will there be a Maya 2010 Personal Learning
         Edition (PLE) be available in the future.
         A: As of this time, there are no plans to release new versions of the Maya PLE. If
         you need to evaluate the Maya software please use the Maya 2010 30-day trial4.
          
         Q: Will learning tools be included with the Maya
         2010 software kit?
         A: No, learning tools will not be included in the Maya 2010 or in the upgrade
         Maya 2010 kits.


         Q: Will Maya 2010 support file data from previous
         versions of Maya?
         A: Yes. Maya 2010 will be able to load file data from Maya 3 through Maya 2009.



         4
             Free  trial  products  are  subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  end‐user  license  agreement  that 
         accompanies download of the software 
          
Q: Will Maya customers be able to cross grade to
the Autodesk Maya Entertainment Creation Suite
or the Autodesk Maya Real-Time Animation Suite?
A: Yes. Maya customers with licenses of any of the three prior versions, will be
able to purchase a cross grade to either Suite. Please consult your local reseller
or Autodesk sales representative for details.


Q: How does Maya integrate with other Autodesk
Media & Entertainment products?
A: The Autodesk® FBX® software file interchange format allows users to easily
transfer assets to and from Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® Softimage®,
Autodesk® MotionBuilder® and Autodesk® Mudbox™ software products, as well
as certain other content creation packages that support FBX, making Maya a
complementary package that can be expected to enhance any new or existing
production pipeline.


Q. Will Autodesk continue to develop Autodesk
Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk
Softimage?
A. Yes. Autodesk intends to continue to develop and support all three products
for the foreseeable future.

Q: What technical support options are available for Maya 2010? A: Customers purchasing new licenses of Maya software will receive Autodesk’s standard 30-day complimentary Up & Ready Support from the date of product registration. This support is limited to installation, licensing, and hardware configuration issues only. Customers with Autodesk Subscription with Gold Support for Maya are entitled to additional 24x5 technical product support based on the operating hours of Autodesk’s various support centers. Note: Support in languages other than English is provided where available but is not guaranteed. Q: Will there be any licensing changes with Maya 2010? A: Yes, all Maya 2010 licenses now use the Autodesk License Manager (AdLM). Previous Maya Complete and Maya Unlimited licenses will be replaced with a single Maya 2010 license when upgrading. Note: Only one license is required and used for all Maya 2010 components: the Maya 3D animation ® software, Maya Composite, Autodesk MatchMover™, and mental ray Batch for Maya. Backburner does not require a license to operate. Q: Can I choose not to install either the Maya Composite, MatchMover, Backburner or Batch components? A: Yes. When installing Maya 2010, customers can select which Maya components they wish to install. Uninstalled components can be installed at a later date.
  • 3. Q: Can I choose to install the Maya Composite or MatchMover components on a different workstation? A: No. These components require and use the same license as the Maya 2010 3D animation software and must be installed on the same workstation. Q: Can I choose to install the Backburner or Batch components on a different workstation? A: Yes. Customers can install the Backburner software and mental ray for Maya Batch nodes on any supported Maya configuration and operating system. Note: mental ray for Maya Batch will be only available with a network license. Q: Will Maya 2010 be available for purchase as a Network license? A: Yes. Please note that while network licenses can be used on any supported workstation configuration on the network (Windows®, Mac OS® X, and Linux® operating systems), the Maya 2010, Maya Composite and MatchMover components all share the same license and cannot be used concurrently on different workstations. Q: Does the switch to AdLM impact licensing of previous Maya versions? A: Customers with entitlement to use previous versions of Maya through the Autodesk Subscription program who would like to use versions prior to Maya 2010 will need to continue using the previous licensing system. The Autodesk License Manager (AdLM) can only be used with Maya 2010. Customers on Subscription or Subscription with Gold Support who are entitled to use previous versions in conjunction with Maya 2010 will have to use a separate license file. Previous version licensing of Maya can be done through the Subscription Center or eligible customers can use their existing license file to unlock previous versions. Q: Will Maya 2010 be available with hardware dongle support? A: No. Autodesk’s Online License Transfer system provides a flexible alternative to hardware dongles. Q: What is the Online License Transfer system? A: The Online License Transfer system is a flexible and convenient web-based mechanism for customers to transfer their licenses to different machines without requiring the physical transfer of a dongle. It is available at no charge to all standalone license customers and there is no limit on the number of transfers that can be made.
  • 4. Q: How does the Online License Transfer system work? A: You log on to the Online License Transfer system using a web interface where you can then de-activate your software license on your current computer before re-activating it on a different one. Q: Can dongles for Maya 2009 (or certain prior versions) continue to be purchased for use with prior versions of Maya after the expected release of Maya 2010? A: No. Customers will only be able to purchase dongles up until Maya 2010 starts shipping. If after that date you need to move your license to another workstation you will need to upgrade to a Maya 2010 standalone license and use the Online License Transfer system. Q: Can a dongle purchased for use with Maya 2009 (or certain prior versions) be returned for a refund after upgrading to Maya 2010? A: No. You will need your dongles to use Maya 2009 or certain prior versions if you have prior version usage rights. Q: Will customers be able to get the pre-license through a webkey/prekey file? A: No. This functionality is not available with Maya 2010 because it uses the pervious license security system. Customers can still find these files on the Support site for Maya 2009 and certain prior versions. Q: What operating systems will be supported for Autodesk Maya 2010 32-bit? A: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business (SP1 or higher), Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional (SP2 or higher), and Apple® Mac OS X 10.5.7 operating systems or higher. For a list of the latest operating systems supported please refer to the qualification charts at: http://usa.autodesk.com/qual-charts.
