The student license is a discounted license type available for purchase by students and Ph.D. candidates under the following conditions.
Student licenses are personal licenses, which can only be purchased by students or Ph.D. candidates who verify their student status during the order process. Student licenses may only be used by the purchaser and may never be sold to a non-student or in some way be shared with them. The purchase is limited to one license per person.
The recipient of the invoice and the delivery must be the student with their private address. The purchase of student licenses by institutions is not permitted.
The license offers full functionality and may be installed on private computers only. The semester license (6 months) can be installed on one computer. The student license (24 months) can be installed on two computers. Both licenses can be transferred to new computers anytime by using the regular license transfer.
The use of a student license is limited to private purposes (i.e. course work, preparations for qualifications, etc.). Use for professional activities and commercial purposes is prohibited.
Student licenses cannot be upgraded to new versions. If a new version of MAXQDA is published, it is not possible to upgrade student licenses with a price reduction. If the student status is still current, students can purchase a new student license for the new version.
Student licenses are valid for 6 or 24 months starting from the date of purchase. All licenses may be extended by purchasing another student license.
