## Supported Versions

- ✅ Maya 2027 (Linux tested)
- 🔄 Maya 2026 (Compatible - needs testing)
- 🔄 Maya 2025 (Compatible - needs testing)
- 🔄 Maya 2024 (Compatible - needs testing)
- 🔄 Maya 2023 (Compatible - needs testing)
- 🔄 Maya 2022 (Compatible - needs testing)

## How It Works

### Linux
1. Uses `LD_PRELOAD` to inject `libmaya_hook.so` before Maya loads
2. Hook library intercepts Autodesk licensing function calls
3. All license validation calls return success

### Windows
1. Uses DLL injection via `MAYA_APP_LAUNCHER_DLL` environment variable
2. Hook DLL intercepts Autodesk licensing function calls
3. All license validation calls return success

## Building for Windows

### Prerequisites
- MinGW-w64 compiler (x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc)
- Or Visual Studio with MSVC

### Build Commands (MinGW-w64)
```bash
cd core/windows
make
```

### Build Commands (MSVC)
```cmd
cl /LD /O2 license_hook.c /Fe:libmaya_hook.dll
```

## Updating for New Versions

1. Run detection: `python3 updater/detect_maya.py`
2. Update `config/signatures.json` with new version paths
3. Test the hook with the new version
4. Mark as tested in signatures.json

## Known Issues

- Library uses obfuscated function names (adlsdkXXXXXXXX...)
- Hook currently works in "pure hook mode" when original functions aren't found
- Some Maya versions may use different licensing mechanisms
- Windows version needs testing with actual Maya installation

## Debugging

### Linux
Debug output appears on stderr when Maya launches.

### Windows
Debug log is written to `C:\temp\maya_hook.log`
