Re: Using solid works student edition for work

Depends. If you use it at work, but not for anything to do with work but instead just to learn how to use it, probably OK. That's what I did: Used it while AT work, but on my own time (and with work's permission) to design a hypotherical wheel/motor assembly for a robot I was thinking of. MY company has nothing to do with robots, and the design wasn't used for anything but my education.

The idea was to show the boss how valuable it was and get them to buy a license. Didn't work out, but not because I didn't try.

Now, in your case Tri-Lam, if what you design has ANYthing to do with work, then you should not use the software like that. And if you have any doubt, then better you don't.

I am also not a lawyer, and my opinion is completely worthless. If you want an opinion that matters, contact Solidworks and ask them. They'll be happy you called, honest.
