The free version was the reason why we dropped Premiere completely from our student labs.
It's by far enough for learning.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

Hi - I'm trying to research this for our university labs. Is it ok from a licencing point of view to install the free version on labs for multiple users? I seem to remember the licencing to be limited to a single user. I'm really keen to get a lab set up for students, but doubt the university would spring for (say) 40 seats of the studio version. Unless there is some sort of educational discount?
It would be purely for students to learn on - no commercial work. very interested in hearing how others have approached this.

You can install the free version and use it for commercial and non commercial use on as many systems as you like. More than 95% of the Studio features are in the free version.

The Studio version, with activation key, is licensed to use on a system and a second one so that users can have one on their desktop and one on a laptop as an example. We don't have formal educational discount for Studio but many resellers will offer something.

Thanks Peter. I use both, and as long as that's the case, the free version would be ideal for students in a lab. We might buy a couple of studio licences as well for a couple of machines for students to use. But as long as it's not a licencing issue, the free version would be ideal for teaching, esp as students can download and use it on their own machines as well. Cheers!

Hello, for a set of 6 editing suites, I would like to plan for having Davinci Resolve available to multiple users. I'm not sure how this works for educational institutions? I need to spec out what we would need to purchase to be able to work collaboratively across 4 - six workstations in Resolve - assuming that we'd need DRStudio? Thanks for any info on this. - Miriam

Old topic but let's try anyway. I suppose the same goes with Blackmagic RAW which seems to have same "single system only" in EULA?
