Hi all, I hope this is the right forum, I had a really hard time to find where I could post a new message, and yes, I read most of the question about the watermark.
I am a history of architecture grant researcher, so I got my legit free three years lstudent icence and finally had the 2014 version istalled yesterday on my own laptop.
In my university lab we have our PC equipped with a full licence, but I am supposed to do some of my modelling out of the lab too (the lab is not opened 24/h day and all of you know what happens on deadlines...), so I happily applied for the student version. Right after I registered my copy, I was prompted to save the file (the blank template) with a different name, since the watermark will be applied everywhere.
Now I'm puzzled, since reading everywhere I got the idea that every single piece I try to model when I'm not in the lab will be affected, no matter if it will be inserted in the GIS or in the lab 3D MAX in the general model and this is not really something that the project can deal with.
Just to make it clear, we are not selling projects, we are modelling historical buildings for papers and presentations of our academic reasearches, and I am a bit worried about random "educational" watermark appearing in the general work or in books printouts.
I can understand that professional use is not intended for educational licences, but I cannot imagine how we are supposed to keep with the work out of the lab... and no, with my grant I would never be able to afford a full licence that I will need just to make my university papers watermark-less.
I may be wrong, and I may just ask the research manager if they have extra full licences for us researchers, but I wanted to ask if this use of the student version was not the one intended.
Regards
Lila
