How can I download this software from the internet without showing such annoying error messages. Please provide suggestion to fix this error as soon as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a hotfix available at their site. I suggest using this keyword “Hotfix – Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 – Activation Hotfix”.

After installing the hotfix file (.msp file extension), launch the installer by double clicking. Click next and finish. Make sure you right click the hotfix file, select run as administrator.

It’s a bit odd but you can actually see this message popping up on the first run of Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 after you install it. This error is an activation problem and you may encounter it when you install and activate Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 after December 31, 2008. So, if you install the program beyond this date you will surely be greeted with this error message.

To fix the problem, download Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 Activation Hotfix. Use the supplied password to unpack. The download contains two versions of the hotfix: one for the 32-bit version and the other for 64-bit version. Run the hotfix appropriate for your version. After running the hotfix, you should be able to start Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 without receiving that error again.

You will also now be able to use the authorization wizard to activate the product normally.
