ADMIN DELETED (was asking for a software license key)

Isn't that stealing?

[Hughesie]

Yeah i don't think you should be posted that kind of question here
despite the people making vectorworks not exactly being a small company it still impacts everyone who actually buys it. you crack it, we pay for it

I know you are new here, but please review the ControlBooth site policies: here

That being said. Are vectorworks prices a constant thing, or is there any place to get cheapER (I know these things cost a fair chunk o' change) software?

I picked up the student design suite for $160 which includes all the industry packs, spot light, renderworks etc... Unlike Autocad it does not print out STUDENT VERSION on all your drawings it just requires a dongle and says educational version in the title bar on your computer.

Holy Cow, where?
My cart total comes out to $1795

Academic Super Store--you can pick up Vectorworks 12.5 for $159.99 IF and only IF you are under 18 years old. Otherwise, if you are a college student or teacher of any sort its closer to $360.00 I believe.

12.5 is GREAT--good luck all.

I guess I should have made that clearer- that price is for students and not for professional use. I need to reread the licenses to what constitutes student use. If I am a student but getting paid for drawings I do in vectorworks will I need to upgrade to pro?

Nope, Nemestcheck (SP) doesn't care, or at least they won't know unless you tell them. I get paid for drawings as well, however, when you send out the "elibility" form for them, leave that information out and just include the course or department that the program should be associated with. Personally, I can justify this because I am a design student at my highschool and am teaching myself Vectorworks as an additonal program to use (They use CadKey, ew). It just so happens that the company I work for perfers to use Vectorworks for their plots and system design work as well.

The "Student" version is absolutely the same program as the professional version just at a drastically discounted price. Everything is identical, I even called Nemetscheck driectly to confirm this. The only downside is it is dongle based, as opposed to the multi-license firm version.
