Re: Using solid works student edition for work

The student edition of SolidWorks is unsuitable for commercial use because files include a watermark, soft lock, etc. It's intended for students to learn with, and is missing a lot of the more advanced tools. If you intended to use the software for commercial purposes, i.e. work that generates income, you'll need to buy a full commercial license.

But using it at your job for personal and evaluation reasons doesn't actually consititute commercial use, and unless your boss is trying to get you to use the software to do actual office work, there's no need to worry.
