3ds Max problems

I just got 3ds Max and I I'm trying to activate it I was supposed to get the student one I think it's 3 years free but when I got it it said I had 30 days now I'm kinda confused so I said well I guess I can just find a activation code online but now I can't find ANY and the ones that say they are activation codes I don't trust people say just use keygen but I'm not really sure about that are keygens safe? I never used them before and if they are can you lead me to a trusted one ?

Sorry for the late reply,

A "student version" of such a program that can be used for free AND for 3 years? That sounds unrealistic, but in lack of knowing otherwise myself I'll take your word for it.   As for keygens, as with everything you download, it depends on the uploader/source. Check for example this here on TPB:

Also read the comments under the torrent, there is a post about a keygen and how to activate the software.

Autodesk (company that provides 3DS Max) does indeed offer Student licenses that can be used for academic purposes and for 3 years, but you need to register in their Education Community with an education email, and you'll receive a key of the software. Otherwise, you'll be using their free trial version that lasts only for a month.

They have most if not all of their software in this program. Did you follow this steps and download 3DS Max from their Education Community? You should have gotten an email with the key that will allow you to activate the software.

Ohhhhh! God I feel so dumb I went to my email there it was XD I'm gonna see if it works thank you both I will update you guys when I do it!
