If you are having a problem saying that “License was not obtained”, try deleting the “Maya.env” file. For users using Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 7, open Windows Explorer and go to the following locations:

• C:Documents and SettingsusernameMy Documentsmayaversion
• C:Documents and SettingsusernameMy Documentsmaya
• C:UsersusernameMy Documentsmayaversion
• C:UsersusernameMy Documentsmaya

If you are running a Macintosh computer, you can find the file in the following locations:

• /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/version
• /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya

For Linux users, you can find it in the following locations:

• ~/maya/version
• ~/maya

The reason why you need to delete the file is because it is possible that the file is corrupted or damaged and this prevents you from starting up Autodesk Maya. In case this method didn’t work, try installing Autodesk Maya 2014 Service Pack 3.
