The maya license you’re using is not valid fix

Found this on a forum and thought i’d share.
- Your License warning Will Popup using acwebbrowser.exe
- Uninstall maya
- Reinstall Maya
- Clear Hosts file from autodesk’s urls
- Make sure Firewall does not block the browser, maya or acwebbrowser.exe
- Open Maya
- Select Enter Serial
- After going through the Enter Serial the Serial Input window will show up
- Close the Enter serial window
- It may show a windows dialog saying that the product you are using requires a serial number and a product key to continue.
- Just close it
- Maya wont start
- Block your internet or disconnect from any connection
— OFFLINE FROM HERE — - Enter your Usual serial
- Proceed with the medicine as usual
- Launch Maya
- Once it opens for the first time pŕoperly
- Close it
- Now add the urls to the hosts file to prevent the app to phone home
- Open Maya again (you’re still disconnected from the internet)
- Make sure everything runs
- Close Maya
- Now you can connect to the internet
— NOW YOU CAN GO ONLINE — - If you get the license is illegal popup again, then you need to repeat all the steps in the same order and block acwebbrowser.exe on your firewall.
In case your tools or shelves dissapeared or are not showing, go to Window/UI Elements/Restore UI Elements
Remember if you’re going to install new Autodesk Apps, you need to clear out the hosts file and remove acwebbrowser.exe from your blocked apps in order to install.
acwebrowser and phoning home to autodesk servers is needed in order to proceeed with the serial window, if it can’t connect it wont allow you to continue.
Also Backup your preferences (copy the maya # version folder on Documents)
Remove your prefs folder and let it recreate a new one on start to avoid any tools dissapearing.
If you get
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2017/scripts/others/drInit.mel line 1961: Object '' not found. //
The way I fixed it was very simple. Just go to
Windows > Modeling Editors > Modeling Toolkit
And it seems to correct itself
