Hello! I was wondering how can I be sure that an 3d model that I buy for around 100$ from turbosquid is not made with student version of maya or cracked version of something etc? Or do I just not buy it from there. Should I contact the modeller? I got a legit version of Maya, dunno if that’s relevant. Thanks in advance 
In Maya it will pop up a message that the file was made in a student version. At least if it’s the native Maya file, other files like .obj or .fbx do not contain that information so there’s no way for you to know.
Ok thank’s a lot! I will stick to the native maya files only
