Academic and Commercial license of solid edge

Academic and Commercial license of solid edge

Academic and Commercial license of solid edge

(OP)
I have some files created on a solid edge st with academic license, is there any way to open them on a solid edge with commercial license? When i try to open them it shows an error saying "cannot open file. this file was created using an academic license"

RE: Academic and Commercial license of solid edge

unfortunately the answer is short: no, that's not possible.
OTH an academic SE can open files created with a commercial
license. But a save will make them an academic one, so be on your guard ...
In any case: your version must be >= than the file's version
to open it.

So you're telling me if I'm going to School for example, and they have academic license, i have a job also that runs SE, I can't do my school work at work (after working hours of curse)?????? That really sucks. I kinda see why and kinda don't. Are other softwares like that????

RE: Academic and Commercial license of solid edge

Hi,

right, you can do your school work by using the commercial
license (doing it from scratch) but you can't use academic
files with the commercial license.

Pro/E: academic license can only open files created by
       an academic license.
SWX: AFAIK same as Pro/E
INV: AFAIK same as Pro/E

The only way to exchange betwwen both flavours is to use a neutral
format like STEP or Parasolid and .dwg/.dxf for drafts
