You can get a great looking landscape in 5 minutes or spend a few days making a tailored terrain for your particular needs. This flexibility and its easy learning curve makes Gaea a fantastic software."

The Classroom License supports both institutional and personal use:

• Deploy Gaea on campus workstations.
• Unlimited seats at a single site.
• Free upgrade to the next version.

If Gaea is part of your curriculum, the Classroom License is the recommended option. It allows academic institutions to offer Gaea on student laptops or lab computers.

Licenses are not tied to specific devices or individuals, and can be reused as student batches change. This makes the Classroom License ideal for revolving admissions and recurring sessions.

We’ve priced the Classroom License to be significantly more affordable than individual or volume licenses, ensuring institutions of all sizes can deliver industry-grade terrain design education without compromising on access or scalability.

Can I use my license at school?

If you are a fully publicly-funded school or institution, or you are a student or teacher using Gaea individually for learning purposes, you are welcome to use the license at school.

If Gaea is part of the curriculum, while you may use the license for your own personal use, the institution must purchase a Classroom License.

Can I use the license commercially?

The purpose of these educational licenses are for learning and teaching. If you are using Gaea for commercial purposes, you must purchase a commercial license.

However, prizes - including cash prizes - or other forms of compensation for educational contests, competitions, or similar events are allowed.

What is the difference between the Student + Teacher License and the Classroom License?

The Student + Teacher License is for individual learning. It is available to students and teachers for personal use.

The Classroom License is for institutions. It allows the institution to deploy Gaea across their labs and classrooms, and to issue licenses to students and teachers.

How long can I use this license?

Student + Teacher Licenses are given for 1 year, and can be renewed for free at the end of the term if you qualify.

Classroom Licenses are provided in an annual subscription format.

Do educational licenses include a free upgrade to the next major version?

Yes! If the next major version comes out during the term of your license, you will receive a free upgrade. You are also welcome to keep using the existing version.
