Install Maya on a Windows OS

The installation, activation, and registration of the Maya software on a Windows OS follows the same procedure as for other Autodesk software products.

Note: The default installation path for the Maya 2019 software product on a Windows OS is: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019.

To install Maya in a Simplified Chinese or Japanese environment, follow the instructions in the installer.

Important: If you install Maya to a custom location, ensure that the path does not include any Chinese or Japanese double‐byte characters.
