Where can I buy/download 3DSMax 2009?

Okay, so the level editor and modding tools for Alekhine's Gun are finally out. The tools include plugins that are only compatible with 3DSMax 2009. I've been digging around, and I can't seem to be able to find a way to download it - I can't seem to find it on Autodesk's website. And I don't want to have to set up an account at Autodesk without good reason. So, can anybody here help me out? I'm desperate to edit those SMF models...

You can download it from https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-3ds-max-2009-service-pack-1.html but you would then need to register it I believe

According to this you may have trouble with the latest operating systems https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-3ds-Max-2009.html

While digging around a bit, I found this old thread from the Blenderartists forum:

 

http://blenderartists.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-206654.html

 

In particular, one post mentions:

 

Autodesk and Adobe DO NOT offer any old versions. Retailers are required to stop selling an old version once the new is out - so you´ll not find any legit boxes in a legit shop of any old versions.

I'm no expert, but I'd say that your best bet would be to pursue updated plugins if at all possible, rather than looking for the older software.

Okay, thanks for your replies. I've sorted out the problem.

 

UPDATE: It turns out I can only use the plugins to export 3dsMax models to the game, not view them on 3dsMax. But I'll keep it, I might try my hand at making new Shad models at some stage.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
