Vladimir,

Thanks for your fast reply.

I got a PTC Creo student edition since February 2025.

I tried to log in a few minutes ago, but I got the message below:

Is this Student edition free?

Hi,

TRIAL and Student license are quite different "things".

Please read following documents.

Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you tell me how long is the second option (creo11_unistudent) valid, please?

Thank you!

Hi,

the license is valid for 1 year from the date of request. After 1 year, the license must be renewed, i.e. you need to request a license file for the next year.
