Licenses
Understand your access
A tool being installed and a license allowing a use are different things.
Step by step
- Open the account menu to review the access attached to your current email address.
- Use tools in the free tier for the permitted personal uses. Pro access can come from a trial or an appropriate license.
- During a Pro trial, evaluate the tools only: paid jobs are not allowed.
- Before paid client work, obtain a commercial license that covers the tools you will use.
- After an access change, refresh the Hub and check the account state before starting work.
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.
