Orca 3D Students and Faculty:

Educational licenses are full working licenses of the software. Proof of eligibility is required to qualify for Educational prices, as follows:  A copy of student ID, or a copy of current course schedule, or a letter from a professor on school letterhead. Your course of study must be naval architecture or a related field. After you have made your purchase, please send your proof of eligibility to us as quickly as possible; once it has been verified, we will send a License Code to you. Your annual license may be renewed at Educational pricing if you are still a student at the time, or Commercial pricing if you are no longer a student.

  • Educational licenses are entitled to all minor updates (e.g., version 3.x to 3.y) and major upgrades (e.g., version 3.x to 4.x) that are released during the license period.
  • All licenses include technical support during the period of the license.

Note: If you are interested in upgrading from Orca3D Version 1 or Version 2 to Version 3, please contact jackie@mcneel.com.
