Academic licences are annual term licences and run for twelve months from activation. They carry the full commercial toolset with no watermark and no feature lock, but may not be used for paid work. Proof of enrolment or employment is required at checkout.
Why it is taught
Built for a syllabus, not just a demo
The full professional toolset
Students learn on the same edition they will meet in a practice. No stripped-back student build.
Course text included
Every academic bundle ships with the matching guide, so an instructor is not writing the material from scratch.
Runs on lab hardware
No workstation graphics requirement, so an existing lab usually does not need replacing.
DWG in and out
Students hand in files that open anywhere, and open the files an employer sends them.
Single deployment key
One image, one activation path across a lab, documented for whoever maintains it.
A path after graduation
Graduates move to a commercial licence at upgrade pricing rather than starting again at full price.
Made with it
What students build with it.
