Hi all, just wanted to share this link. It is a version valid for three years from 2016 3dsMax version. I hope that someone helps. http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/3ds-max
A note for this.... this licence is for Teachers or Students normally. I applied for this and received my copy (I am a teacher), Autodesk never asked to confirm it, but that is not to say they won't randomly select someone to prove it.
