P3D V4 License Choice

[crippy]

Hello everyone!

I believe that the terms of P3D V4 academic license states that I / user must be in school K-12 and or an undergraduate.

I am an undergraduate, so I would qualify for the Academic license right? I do like to stream Flight Sim's on streaming platforms, would this be an issue?

Also, come May 2018 I will have graduated and will no longer be a undergraduate......Seeing as this would break the license agreement what would happen? Should I just save and get the pro version?

Thank You for reading this!

Just get the Academic version unless you are filthy rich.

Bob, please don't promote software piracy on this forum. I know there's a sector of this hobby that thinks that it's "unfair" what Lockheed and Microsoft are doing and they want the software, but it is, by definition, piracy to purchase a license under false pretense and to buy an academic license you're not entitled to by their user agreement is exactly that.

This is how I see it:

I am a frustrated fighter pilot and a student of aviation. My "academy" is global, including but not limited to: Half Moon Bay Flying School where I got my 13.5 hours in 150s and 140s back in the late '60s; the FAA, from which I've downloaded numerous pdfs on aviation; Ernest K. Gann, Jack Broughton, and other notable authors; Flight Chops, Stevo1kinevo, SimCFI, and Zeno's Warbird Drive-in on the Internet, and Dudley Henriques on this forum.

Yesterday I spent over two hours watching a couple webinars on YouTube about GA engines and their operation.

Not only that, but purchase of the A2A Academic aircraft version is cheaper than the Pro version.

Didn't mean for this thread to be controversial, but after consideration I think I will go for Pro given the fact that eventually I will out-grow the academic license, as well as other historical incentives such as discounts for pro customers on new versions of P3D.

I graciously thank A2A for reasonable $20 premium for their Pro Versions when compared to some other products that cost substantially more for the Pro version.

The moderators can close this thread, as I don't want arguments to break out.

I'm not an undergraduate but I'm also not a professional so my simply using P3D for home entertainment would be 'piracy.'
