  3. Run SGX_Studio_Maya-4.x.x_install.exe.

  4. When prompted, supply the location of the license file (.lic).

  6. After running the installer, find the module file, sgx_studio.mod in the installation folder. In order to allow Maya to find the SGX Studio module, you may do either one of the following:

    • copy/move sgx_studio.mod into the user’s Documents\maya\modules folder; OR

    • add the directory containing the sgx_studio.mod file to the MAYA_MODULE_PATHin the user's Maya.env file.
