Frequently Asked Questions
Eligibility, licenses, research and credits.
Which institutions can hold an education license?
Accredited institutions that grant degrees or diplomas at primary, secondary or higher level, and accredited continuing education bodies such as training centers, career and vocational schools.
What do non-profit research institutes license?
Dassault Systèmes commercial software under its agreement for fundamental research, at substantially reduced rates, once Dassault Systèmes confirms eligibility in a letter.
How does a teaching license differ from a research license?
A teaching license covers lectures, tutorials and supervised lab classes, in classroom packs sized for coursework. A research license carries the full commercial functionality, for non-profit research with published results.
When does a university need a commercial license?
For consulting, contract work or results delivered to a paying client. Teaching, theses and funded research with published results run on academic licenses.
How do certification credits work for an institution?
Each 3DEXPERIENCE® Edu user adds 4 credits to one shared pool. An Associate exam uses 2 (scenario-based) or 4 (hands-on), for two attempts.
