Can't remove inventor 2012 student version

[Anonymous]

Recently I've download and install Autodesk inventor 2012 x64 Educational Version. Now I have same Commercial version from my future employer and every time when I'm installing, even with new serials, I got on the program window  -STUDENT VERSION. I've try every possible way to remove every thing from  Inventor, I've edit registry, try several installers and I'm still getting the   -STUDENT VERSION. Please I need urgent answer, cause by job depend on this program. tnx

The "Student Version" label is attached to components created with a "Student License" of Inventor. A 10,000 part IAM file with a small component such as a flat washer that was created with a Student License" will show "Student Version".

You will need to go through your components and figure out which ones were created with a "Student License", remove these from your IAM files and create new IPT's with the "Commercial Version" of Inventor.

This is the reason you get to use Autodesk Inventor for free with a "Student License", all work done with it can only be used for educational purposes and not commercial work.

You seems don't understand me. I want completely to remove STUDENT VERSION and I can't. NOT the label or similar.

You did not need to uninstall/re-install the software.

When you re-install it simply picks up the original license.

My understanding is that the licensing scheme uses an otherwise unused portion of the HDD that isn't even touched by re-formatting the HHD.

What you need to do is replace the student license serial number with the commercial license serial number.

Go to Help>About Inventor >Product Information> Update the serial number to new number and activate new license.

It sounds like you already understand that any work done previously with the student license is always student work and would need to be recreated from scratch with commercial license.

I've figurate out just before reading your answer. But thank you anyway 🙂

I am wanting to remove the Student Version and activate a full licence but when I go to Help in InventorI have no options for "About Inventor" or "Product Information" to do the serial number change. All that happens when I click on help is I am linked to the online help page. 

Any suggestions???
