Lizenz Education

Welchen Zweck verfolgt eigentlich die Education-Lizenz für 250,- EUR?
Sie kostet weit mehr als die Indie Multi-User-Lizenz aber lässt keinerlei Distributionsmöglichkeit zu.
Warum sollte man sie sich zulegen?

It's for Schools & Universities etc. It's so that they can install it on as many machines as they like. But if a student wants to release their game for profit then said student should purchase a license. They can still release their games as freeware.



I actually want to revise the current license plan slightly. Don't know if Thomas or Alex will go for it though.

Currently the multi-license does not specify amount of users or location. For instance can it be used in one location or does one only need to purchase 1 license which covers your entire team worldwide? Makes no sense to me.

I would rather change that license to something like:

• Max 5 users
  
• Same location such as: house or office etc.
  

At least that way it makes a lot more sense. & in that train of thought, then unless everyone working on your game (developers/programmers) who are working within the vs editor is in the same location then they would need to purchase the individual license, at least.

The pro/mobile licenses without any of those restrictions (worldwide).

I also want to add a cheaper mobile license at €99 per title. Basically similar to the indie multi license but with larger crowdfund limit & mobile distribution sales allowed. Change the current mobile license to allow publishers, make branding optional & no restrictions other than physical sales.

In the actual licence configuration, the education model seems rather unnecessary.
Usually, items labeled *education* hold a benefit, while here professors are well advised to purchase the indie multi-user licence.

Improving the edu-licence by restricting the indie-licence leaves me sad.

fun fact:
The education-licence is available under 'SHOP' but somehow went missing in the index tab 'Licenses'

Yeah the license pages & shop pages & links etc are a bit all over the place.

For me the education license should be free. It's something I believe in. Plus it's a great marketing strategy, with an endless potential of future clients.

I just mean that the current indie-multi license is not very specific. Plus it makes sense to me to define a location & amount of users.

Something else I would like to add is option to subscribe monthly for individual/multi indie licenses at say something like €4.95 & €9.95, as it would be great alternative payment method for people with low income, such as students & kids etc. Probably won't ever happen, but whatever...
