Yes, please complete the license migration request here. Please note, that Katana is not currently available as log-in-based.  If you have a faculty license that you are migrating to log-in-based, we will issue a Katana node-locked license so you still have access to Katana.  If you are migrating your classroom licenses from node-locked or floating to log-in-based, the Katana portion of the license will remain as floating or node-locked.

Students enrolled at schools with paid Foundry classroom licenses are eligible for a free student license. Students enrolled at a school that doesn’t have active Foundry classroom licenses can opt for our discounted annual student licenses for $99 / €89 / £79. Students can apply online on our student page.

We've partnered with ActionVFX.com to give you FREE early access to its Practice Footage Library database—which offers stock footage plates that are perfect for use in the classroom or for student demo reels–plus a 10% discount for the ActionVFX store. To get early access and the 10% discount, use code FOUNDRY10. 

Non-commercial licenses are for home use only, so they cannot be used in a commercial environment or in schools for teaching. Once a project is started in non-commercial, it cannot later be transferred to educational or commercial versions due to file encryption. Projects would need to be started from scratch in full commercial versions. Our education licenses provide full, non-limited versions of the software. This means students can easily transfer files between home and school machines and take their work with them into the industry. Education licenses also allow students and graduates to upgrade to a commercial subscription license at 50% off the commercial price.

Please complete our online program application above.  A member of our Education team will contact you to go over licensing options. 

Please email us at education@foundry.com and a member of our Education team will get in touch.

Katana is not currently available as log-in-based.  As it is included in your education collective license, we wanted to ensure you still have access to Katana.  We issue a Katana activation key and Katana render key with your faculty license so you can still access it.

Details on our different license styles can be found here.
 

The faculty Nuke, NukeX, Nuke Studio, and Mari licenses are set as log-in-based. Log-in-based licenses are tied to a single foundry.com account and can be activated on up to two machines simultaneously. There is no need for license transfers - users can deactivate from one machine if they want to use the license on a different machine. Log-in-based licenses require an internet connection for initial activation and refreshing of licenses (max 37 days offline).  The Katana license included with the Education Collective is node-locked and can only be installed on a single machine. If you have a node-locked education collective currently and would like to change to log-in-based to access on a second machine, please complete the license migration request here.
 

No, we do not currently have an option for schools to use team log-in licenses.  These will be available at a future date so please check back or email us at education@foundry.com to discuss options.

Please complete the license transfer form and submit it to educationsupport@foundry.com.  If you are changing to log-in-based, please complete the license migration request here.
 

The Education Collective gives you access to Nuke, NukeX, NukeStudio, Katana, and Mari, all in a single license
 

No, educational licenses are only available as the full Education Collective bundle.
