Narrative:
On our flight deck preflight; we noticed the maintenance light illuminated and initially thought that was a problem. However; after some discussion and after it went out when starting engines; we decided all was fine. On landing we got a master caution and overhead light on rollout along with the maintenance light. As we investigated further we discovered that our initial concerns on preflight were correct. The maintenance light should be extinguished on preflight. If on it is designed to go out at engine start; (though I don't know why if it is non-dispatchable) and return 30 seconds after landing. Neither of us has much experience in the maximum and that definitely played a part in our errors. Flying the maximum more frequently would help.
