Student - High School
Am I entitled to a student version?
A special version of Vectorworks is available to students enrolled at school, college or university, who are studying in a full time course that requires the use of CAD (computer aided design). It contains all the Designer modules (Architect Australia, Landmark, Machine Design and Spotlight) and also includes Renderworks. Student versions may not be used for any commercial purpose.
How does the student version work?
The student version is fully functional, cross platform (Mac and Windows) and will run for 12 months. If you are still a student after 12 months, you may apply for an extension of the license by clicking here. Vectorworks ships with an on-line user guide and Quickstart DVD.
Drawings created with the student version will print with an outline education watermark in the border at the top and bottom of the page, and can not be opened in the professional version of Vectorworks. If your school or college has Vectorworks 2009 or 2010 and you print from the school computers, there will be no watermark on the drawing.
PDF files created using the Export PDF function in the Vectorworks 2009 or 2010 student versions cannot be opened or edited in Adobe software like Illustrator or Photoshop.
How do I buy it?
The student version is only available directly from OzCAD and should be ordered using one of the PDF order forms to the right. The PDF form must be downloaded, printed and completed in full. All your details should be clear and readable, otherwise your order will not be filled. It requires the signature of both yourself and your teacher/lecturer. Completed forms can be emailed, faxed or posted to OzCAD. Costing, fax number and postal address are all on the form. Click here for contact details.
How will I receive it?
Student orders can only be shipped by Express Post and may not be collected.
What version should I buy?
All students are encouraged to purchase Vectorworks 2010, however those attending schools or colleges who are still using Vectorworks 2009 may elect to purchase this version. If this is the case, please check with your teacher or lecturer before making a decision about which version to purchase, because the school may be planning to upgrade in the near future. Neither Vectorworks 2009 nor Vectorworks 2010 are compatible with older education versions of Vectorworks. If your institution is using Vectorworks 12.5 or prior, please email us for advice before ordering.
What if I pick the wrong version?
Exchanges for incorrect choice of version are not possible.
