Commercial Use

The use of a student license to create commercial applications is within the terms of the EULA, as long as you are a student at the time of purchasing the student license.

Student vs Regular Licensing

Student licensing is currently a pricing option variant only, and is based on your student status at the time of purchase. There is no licensing differentiation. This means that the software for Komodo IDE and Komodo IDE (student) is exactly the same.

Upgrading a Student License

If you are no longer a student and a new version of our software comes out, you will need to purchase the software at the regular price if you wish to upgrade. However, if you are still a student, you may re-purchase the current version of the software, at the discounted student price of $99 USD. Regular prices for these products are $295 USD each.
