I feel really stupid for saying this, but it seems to me there is two obvious ways you can get more legal license for Inventor:

1. Buy more licenses
2. Get them donated

If you don't have the money to do so, then raise money from sponsors, or find another software that will donate more license to your team. I think that's what you are trying to ask, is where to get more licenses donated. Otherwise you wouldn't say valid/legal.

There are other software that can do what Inventor can do, Solidwork is a good example. I know for sure Solidwork have a great deal for workshops that teach you how to use the software, and may or may not include a deal to get you student copies. If you are motivated enough to post the same question twice, you should be motivated enough to find those companies' contact info and ask them about it.

As far as Autodesk goes, if they have to provide more than 1 license to one team, they will have to do it for every team to be fair. I have a feeling FIRST is the one to talk to them to chance this 1 license donation from them.

Also, this Q&A forum is intended for quick questions from teams during the build period. Anything that doesn't have a quick answer, and require lengthy discussion belongs to their appropriate forum. If you want publicity to the question post them in General.
