That would be really unfortunate. To me and I think this is Autodesk's intent is for the mentors/leaders to make an accurate assessment of who is interested and needs the software.
That leader grants permission to the Autodesk site for that student to download and install that software. It is that simple.
I grant access rights to students, not the school. They can put it on a computer in their bedroom and stay up all night working with it for all I care. If they lose interest the license can be transferred to another student.
The school has no interest in this matter at all. They have other matters of much more importance, like educating students, not jumping in the way of what FIRST and Autodesk intended.
The school should lock up their software. This is NOT their software but a right to use license granted to the team and it's students. Very different.
It isn't a complicated concept.
