- Government and non-commercial buyers pay $433 per year or $943 for 3 years for one seat, or $30 per month for web only. [source]
- Student licenses are personal, require proof of eligibility, and can’t be used outside the student’s own degree studies. A semester license runs six months and a student license one year. [source]
- The 6-month and annual student licenses include both the desktop and web versions. The monthly student plan is web only. [source]
