Migration to MAYA - Service Packs

[Daniel Brassard]

From the readme file:

Important Installation Notes:

This extension includes all of the fixes from the service packs that preceded it. Therefore, you do not need to download and install all of the releases in addition to this extension.

On Windows operating systems, this release patches your existing Maya 2015 software or Maya 2015 Service Pack software (any and all service pack versions). Do not uninstall Maya 2015 or an existing service pack before applying this release.

On Mac and Linux operating systems, this release is a full product install. Uninstall your existing Maya 2015 software before installing this release.

The mental ray renderer is included within the installation process for all platforms.

For users who rely on LiveUpdate, you’ll be pushed this release automatically.

Hey guys,
If you are on subscription and have the Maya + Softimage bundle, you should be entitled to Ext 1, and it should be available now (and yes it installs as a patch update on Windows). If you are not seeing it, please email me your details at jill.ramsay(at)autodesk.com and I will look into it for you.

Regards,
Jill

Hello guys,

[jill.ramsay]

OK everyone, we think we've fixed it, could those of you who were having problems please refresh your browser and try again?

Let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks,
Jill

service pack 5 for Maya 2015
http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/m ... tml?v=2015

Does anybody know if this applies to Maya 2015 Extension1? (maybe a stupid question... )

[jill.ramsay]

I don't think so but I will check for you. (And no, not a stupid question).
Jill

[jill.ramsay]

Ok so it was definitely not a stupid question. SP5 is a patch on Windows that works with both 2015 and 2015 Ext 1 (no need to uninstall first). For Linux and Mac, the same fixes are available in a full install but you'll need a different executable available from the subs center for the extensions in those cases.

Have fun!
Jill

Thanks for the clarification and your immediate response!

hello,

I'm currently on subscription and have the Maya + Softimage bundle.
Does anybody in this case have maya 2016 extension 2 available to dowload ?
I'm asking because every extension release i've got problem and i have to contact ADSK support.

Last time, after several month of investigation (!) they send me this answer :

Since you reported this issue, we have been investigating and discussing this internally. We have received a confirmation that the extension "Autodesk Maya 2016 Extension 1 + Service Pack 5" will not be posted on Autodesk Account (this is applies to all customers with Autodesk Maya with Softimage). On the other hand, it should be available in the Application Manager.

sooo, i'm not sure if i should receive or not maya 2016 ext2.

thanks,
regards, eben

There was an issue with Ext 1 availability and that bundle, they apparently fixed it.
I suspect they might not have fixed the underlying cause, so someone would have to bump them again about the new Ext (which I think would appear in your subscription downloads unlike some of the service packs).

However I think right now it's still too early because it's not been released yet for any license type (as far as I can tell).

[eben]

thanks for your answer. I thought it was already release, perhaps it's region dependant (?)

[angus_davidson]

It got pushed to my Autodesk Desktop manager last night (in South Africa). Havent checked the ARC center yet

[eben]
