Our Special-use Policies
In support of educational institutions and charitable organizations worldwide we provide low-cost licensing options for classrooms, teachers, students, individuals working in academic research, and those working within charities.
Academic/Charitable Licensing (ACO)
This special-use software license is for academic institutions with professors and paid graduate students doing CIVILIAN research. It is also for academic institutions using it internally, such as a maintenance engineer employed by a university using it for facilities management. Our ACO license also covers charitable and non-profit organizations such as hospitals, churches, and arts organizations including museums and theaters.
Please note that this license does NOT cover anyone doing research or development for a military industrial complex, such as many national labs, governed by large universities that are doing defense work. These organizations MUST purchase a full commercial license.
Your order must be accompanied by a signed ACO pre-ship agreement (PDF), and for charitable organizations, proof of your non-profit status, such as a 501c3 form from the Internal Revenue Service. These may be faxed to your VAR or directly to Ashlar-Vellum at 512-250-5811.

Student/Teacher Unit Licensing (STU)
Ashlar-Vellum recognizes that today’s students will soon be the leaders and innovators of design.This special-use software license is for classroom or lab situations, for instructors actively using our software to teach design, and for students. It is most often purchased in quantity.
Please note that this license is NOT intended for faculty members outside the design disciplines wanting CAD software for research or other projects. Nor is it for the business of a university such as facilities management. Both of the latter are covered under Academic/Charitable licensing.
All STU licenses are activated with a registration code that expires in November of the following year. Active STU users must re-verify their eligibility for an STU license each August/September to receive a new registration code. Software versions more than 3 years out of date may not be renewed.
Your order must be accompanied by a signed STU pre-ship agreement (PDF) and proof of faculty status or student enrolment (usually a copy of your CURRENT faculty or student ID) prior to shipment. These may be faxed to your VAR or directly to Ashlar-Vellum at 512-250-5811.
