To better support flexible licensing use on BYOD devices, implementation of the Redshift licensing changed in December, 2022. Licenses have been moved to Maxon One Teams licensing, which allows for a floating pool of licenses instead of 1:1 allocation to devices.
This will allow students better access to Redshift licensing outside the classroom.
Setting up a student license
Note: Licensing is limited, so license access will not be granted to students outside key programs.
As a student enrolled in a program requiring Maya/Redshift, your program will register your account for you. Then, Maxon One will send an email to your @my.bcit.ca email and you will need to complete registration for the licensing and set a password.
Recommended: Complete registration of your Maxon One account within the first week of class.
Using Maya
Having launched Maya however your normally would:
- Open a file and perform a render. The render will fail due to no available licensing, but will give a prompt to login to Maxon One.
- Sign in with the account you created to register with Maxon One.
- Start the render again. Now that you are logged in and licensed it will work.
