If you are a student, seems Realflow may be much cheaper and also much better.

1. Is there an educational version of RF4 for schools?

Yes there is. The educational license costs $95 and has no technical limitations, it is a full license. It has no time limit. Also, it does not include the Box. It is download only. The manual is integrated in the software, it is no longer printed.

Normally, you can buy the software from our website, but for the student offer, you can just email us directly at salesdesk at nextlimit dot com

To qualify for the educational license I need the following:

- Faculty ID (with photo if possible)
- Any other kind of Photo ID
- Proof of employment
- Any examples of your work in 3D.
