SOLIDWORKS FOR ACADEMICS

Can I get a SOLIDWORKS educational licence?
SOLIDWORKS Education Edition

SOLIDWORKS educational products are utilised at over 80% of the world’s top engineering schools, giving students and researchers the functionality and ease-of-use to become productive almost immediately.

SOLIDWORKS Education Edition give students the power realize their ideas and helps them prepare for their careers by learning the industry standard CAD software.

For researchers that are involved in developing intellectual property, applying for patents, or publishing results from internally or externally funded projects SOLIDWORKS Research Edition provides perfect solution.

What are the main differences between educational, research and commercial licenses of SOLIDWORKS?

All versions offer full SOLIDWORKS functionality but they are intended for different groups of users and so there are different restrictions on how each license type can be used. For full details review our license eligibility matrix.

SOLIDWORKS Education Edition is intended to be used by schools and universities and is available for a fraction of the price of the commercial version. The education edition operates on a delayed release cycle and any files saved in the education edition are watermarked, making them unsuitable for commercial use.

SOLIDWORKS Research Edition can be used for a wider range of work than the Educational edition and it does not watermark files or run on a delayed release cycle. SOLIDWORKS Research Edition is also available at approximately half the price of a commercial license.

Which SOLIDWORKS Products are included?

SOLIDWORKS Education Edition is a bundle of major SOLIDWORKS products including: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD, SOLIDWORKS Electrical, SOLIDWORKS Simulation, SOLIDWORKS Visualize, SOLIDWORKS Composer, SOLIDWORKS CAM and more.

The research license follows the commercial SOLIDWORKS licensing structure, meaning that it is not a bundle and instead products must be purchased individually. However, the special pricing for the Research Edition allows for substantial savings over commercial rates.
