Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 Student Edition

[Arvin]

Hello,

I recently printed out drawings from Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 Student Edition for my current job. The drawings of course have the border which says "For Educational Use Only". I had not known it would do that before. Anyway, would having that on the borders of my drawings be a problem when submitting my drawings to a manufacturer?

Thanks.

The manufacturer would probably not have an issue with it. But, PTC will. If you are doing the work for your job you need to have a full license of Pro/E and not the Educational one.

The manufacturer would not really know if you were working on a project for school and just ran it through you work. But, you don't want your work to get a software piracy suit from PTC. That might get you fired.

Just my thoughts - better safe then sorry.

Edit: If you can't afford a seat of Pro/E, maybe you could get someone to recreate the drawing in the full version for you. I don't think the full version can open educational versions.

Thanks. I'm working for a small start-up company that's sending the drawngs to China for the product to be manufactured. Would it still be an issue?

Thanks again, I really appreciate the help.

Yep, no matter where the stuff is being made. You still agreed to the license when you installed and used the software.

Then, you posted about it on PTC's website to make sure they new about it.

Hmm, that kinda sucks.
