FAQ
What is the correct first-time order?

Install AO.Hub by dragging the extracted installer into Maya. Restart Maya, then Create account, confirm the email and log in.

What if no verification email arrives?

Check spam/junk. If no email has arrived after 20 minutes, Register again and carefully enter the correct email address; the first address may have been mistyped.

May I use Pro tools for paid jobs during the trial?

No. The 14-day Pro trial is for personal evaluation and learning. Paid client work and other paid jobs require an appropriate commercial license.

How does education access work?

Private educators and mentors can distribute access after AO Studio Tools enables their educator permissions. Schools can have their whole email domain approved; verified accounts on that domain then receive three years of access automatically.

Where do I report bugs or request a tool?

Open Feedback Center from the Hub toolbar. Choose Report a bug, or Submit tool request when your signed-in account has a commercial license. Describe the issue or workflow and wait for the result after Send.
