dillonh.wy 4 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 How do I go about getting a Prepar3d Academic license? What proof do I need to show them, if any at all? I go to school, have a valid student ID, and I'm also a member of Civil Air Patrol, if that helps. I aspire to be a pilot and want something to train with, so how do I go about acquiring an academic license? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
pgreenwo 114 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 You just purchase it. No ID or proof required Link to post Share on other sites
dillonh.wy 4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is there any difference between it and the professional version? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
gflorez 1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is there any difference between it and the professional version? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Professional is more military oriented and less compatible with addons. Check at p3d site.

Tacpack is only for academic for ex. It is the best solution for simmers. Pmdg aerosoft and ftx will work for this version too.

mopperle 3456 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Sorry, but you have no clue what you are talking about. Just to quote LMs website: Link to post Share on other sites
dillonh.wy 4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is there a watermark in the academic version? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
mopperle 3456 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes, in the right hand corner, but hardly noticable. Link to post Share on other sites
dillonh.wy 4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 So all the same addons that work for Profesional will work for Academic, right? I use PMDG, ORBX, Majestic, ASN, and a bunch more of the big developers. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Alaex 144 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I actually never noticed the watermark on my P3D v3 Academic Version... Link to post Share on other sites

The tiny text at the top right (watermark) is not offensive at all. Just remember not all products are compatible with V3 just yet. All devs are working hard to update their products.

No ID or proof required Lockheed always said they consider every flightsimmer a person who is learning more about flight. In other words a student. Use of the academic license is fully legal for you.

scottb613 39 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi Folks, You can turn the watermark off if you disable the screen text info in the settings... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainLHKLM 18 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi all! Does this also mean that you can use the A2A academic license? (For P3D academic) Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
mopperle 3456 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Guys, this is an Aerosoft forum, so why don't you go over to the developers website as they are the only one that can give a valid answer? Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely on the money. I was thinking this from seeing the Topic before I read the thread, and continued to think this as I read through the thread. It's always the bst place to start. Now that doesn't mean there aren't some very experienced people here who are happy to help, but if you have a question about another developers software (not managed by Aerosoft) then that really is the best place to go. Something else Mopperle touched on... be VERY, VERY CAREFUL about taking advice that doesn't come directly from a developer or their staff. There are a lot of people who are eager to help, but not everyone's advice is accurate. Anyway, looks like the question was answered, so let's go fly! Best wishes to all, and Happy Flights!
