Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I own an educational license that I no longer need. Can I sell it to my friend, who is also a student?
A: No, educational licenses cannot be transferred (or sold) to anyone else. That is the only difference (besides the cost) between educational and commercial licenses.
Q: I have a single‑user educational license and have upgraded it by paying commercial upgrade. Has my license become a commercial one (that is, can I resell it)?
A: Yes, it is now a normal commercial license and you can resell it.
Q: Can I upgrade my educational single‑user license to a commercial one? How much will it cost me?
A: Yes, but only when you upgrade to a new version, and you pay the commercial upgrade price. Your educational license then changes into a commercial license. Meanwhile, there is no need to upgrade to a commercial license, since the educational software is the same as the commercial software.
