Hi everyone

I’m going to restore a 320vw the best I can and install some of my older licenses.  Here is the plan:

I have all the original licenses and software locks and authorization codes for 3dsmax r1, r2.5,r3, r4 and R7.  For this project I will install r3 as this release is what was current during the life of the 320.  Also r4 started using the C-Dilla soft lock and even though I have the long activation code, the code will not work as it is tied to the hardware and requires a different code if you change computers (similar to flexlm).  The beauty with r 3 and lower, authorization is simple as connecting the hardware lock and using the original auth code.  
Other software installs will be my old Autocad r14 as my original auth code is not tied to the hardwAre either and is also from 1998-2002.

I want to try installing maya 1 or 2.5 ( I have the disks and the license for irix but not windows) and the same goes for softimage 3d4.0.  I purchased this for irix back n 2006 when it was heavily discounted but non upgradeable.  The package comes with the windows nt installed, but I’m assuming the licensing will be the same as irix.. so I may be out of luck...
