Any Engineering Students use SOLIDWORKS?

[Cew27]

I am comtemplating wheather or not to get the paid student edition of solidworks as my unviveristy doesnt hav any liscenses for students so i cant get one for free.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the student version or if anyones university uses it and if so how do they hand out liscences?

THanks for reading!

Ah, i figured that students at universities that used it were able to obtain serials using their student email address and a university hosted licence authorisation server.
But i think it is more complex than that.

I guess i will look into alternate means (i have just installed bitdefender) and see if i can figure it out that way.

I can easily get the student edition for cheap, but i would be doing freelance work for a company i am just about to be employed with - so i would be breaching the TOS - i don't think the boss would mind the watermark though

Thanks for the info!
