If only there was a company that gave students and educators FREE copies of ALL of their products
Autodesk is doing that: teachers and students can get a set of more than 60 softwares (Autocad, Revit, 3DS Max, Maya...), all fully functional with minor restrictions, licences expiring after 3 YEARS.
Unreal Engine (TwinMotion), Abvent (Archicad, Artlantis, BIM Office...) do so as well, licences expire yearly.
IMHO these are clever long-term strategies...
And I repeat: I ain't no stingy guy until a software publisher charges me even several bucks to promote (in some way) its product.
Yeah, I know this LOTS of companies do it and STILL make a living. No surprise on Trimble not doing this.
