I have a Student Licence for Maya 2012.

I’m trying to make copies of an object yet whenever I try I get a message saying

“The file being saved was created by a Student Version of Maya intended for personal learning only. If you save the file, this message will always appear whenever the file is opened.”

I don’t know why I would get this message when trying to Copy and Paste.

Either way, nothing gets copied and I can’t paste.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you using control+d instead of control+s?

I teach Maya and my students using the educational version of Maya at home have the same problem.

I believe this behaviour is intentional, as it would allow someone to paste the work from an educational version of Maya into a professional version, which Autodesk does not want to happen.

As Subtle 1rony has suggested, just use Ctrl+D to duplicate, instead of copy/paste.
