HOME USE LICENSE FAQ

If you have a home-use code from your school, please review the FAQ’s below:

  • Can I use this on more than one computer?
    No, we have only allocated one license per student and it can only be activated on one computer. To install on a second computer, please confirm with your school if there are any excess licenses.

  • Can I share this key with others outside of my program?
    No, this key is specific to your school and may only be distributed by a school official. If found to be distributed outside of current students, the key will be disabled and users will be at fault for license infringement.

  • Can these be installed on our lab computers?
    No, these are not a replacement for classroom licenses. They are intended for students to have home access and can only be installed on a computer solely used by an individual student. Installing them on a classroom computer is a violation of the EULA.

  • Can I use this on commercial work?
    No. Our free student licenses are for learning purposes only and can not be used on any kind of paid work. You may purchase a graduate or discounted commercial license which can be used on commercial work.
