Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi everyone!

First of all, this isn't really a technical issue but I couldn't find what other forum this would fit best so let me know if there's a better place for me to ask this!

I'm currently a student and I use TVP at university, but I would like to buy my own copy. I'm hoping to buy the educational version, but I was wondering if I can only use that for personal work? If, for example, I was meant to do some commercial work for somebody, or if I wanted to animate something that would be going to a festival, would it be illegal to use my educational license?

I don't expect I will be using my own copy of TVP for a commercial purpose but I wanted to make sure just in case, since I can't seem to find any information on the TVP website.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello Lunariette and welcome,

As a student, you can use your software for your own freelance commercial work, but not to work within a studio (unless you build your own studio, but that's an other question). Studios have to purchase their own licenses.

Thank you very much Fabrice!
