As far as I have been able to ascertain... (don't shoot me if I end up being 
wrong please!), your EDU license should work with Linux, but reasons that are 
not currently clear, the download is not posted. You should be able to obtain 
the executable here:

Fingers crossed, hope this works, if it doesn't I'm going into hiding for a 
week or two. :-)

G'night all.

Jill

Ah interesting. 

I noticed that you couldn¹t download Maya Linux education site, so I wondered 
if educators would of obtained Linux through there Autodesk ARC accounts 
instead. Perhaps not.

I double checked to correct myself and you can run Maya Linux in Standalone 
license, but perhaps with education the Standalone activation doesn¹t work for 
the reasons mentioned.

I shall defer to Jill though.
