oh think you can just put any numbers in like 000000000 etc if its just the trial you want.

so serial 000-00000000 and product key 590E1 should work.

Steve is your man for that though ;)

Yea, I thought so too. In fact before that I actually installed SI 2010 with this trick, but it's not the case now

To activate a standalone license, you will need the actual serial number.
The installer will take anything, but the activation is a different thing.

I can look up your serial number for you, if you want to PM me (I'd need your full name, or your account name, so I can search and find the info).

thanks

Which account? Where I should be registered? What sort of info you supposed to find?

yeah its a trick question in the install procedure - as far as I'm aware you should be able to install without activation. once installed then dont activate and just run Standalone in trial mode?

Your Autodesk account. If you purchased a license of Softimage, then there is a serial number on record for you, and you can use that serial number to activate Softimage.

If you don't have a license, then it appears that your 30-day trial is over (otherwise, Softimage would give you the option of "trying for 30 days" or "activating").

It physically not possible since I formatted the drive and installed the system a few weeks ago

I used trial version of Softimage 2010 for few days and it worked

Well, unfortunately the trial period is considered expired, and there's no way I know to get it back, short of installing on a different PC.

Then why Softimage 2010 is working? I installed it right now with no problems. They use different licensing systems?

Same licensing systems, but different licenses.
Trial is a special version of a standalone license, and it is virtually impossible to reset.

That 2010 is running with a permanent license (I don't see "Trial" in the title bar). I can't tell if it is standalone or network. I'm going to guess network. Usually a hard drive reformat would require you to reactivate the license, but maybe you got lucky there.
