Maya LT 2015 or Blender 2.71?

Kenomica: Gotcha. I just wanted to make sure people don’t get the wrong idea, that’s all.

I have talked with Autodesk representatives at student / company meet-and-greets before and they have said that it is explicitly against the license agreement to start on a project in the student version and then buy a commercial license and sell that content. I asked something similar to this and the representative almost took it as an insult. You are NOT allowed to start making a project with a student or trial version and then upgrade to a commercial license when you are about to release, if we are to accept what they said.

But then, I doubt they will actively track you down if you were to do something like that. They have nothing to gain by attacking indies, or rather defending their licenses, even if they have full legal right to do so.

I would recommend contacting Autodesk and get a written elaboration if you absolutely want to try this path. I doubt it will happen though as Maya LT was designed specifically to lower the entry price point for indies.
