Can I get a student licence if I Homeschool?

[Anonymous]

I was trying to get an Autodesk student licence for Fusion 360. I home school and don't have a name for a verified educational institution.  Maybe I need a Hobbyist licence or I might just get Free Cad.

• Home-school programs that belong to a nationally recognized home-schooling body

if not then no

Hi @Anonymous,

The answer given by @DarrenP is correct. Thank you so much Darren for helping out! 

• Homeschool programs that belong to a nationally recognized homeschooling body (or one that's expressly recognized by a local school governing body as an acceptable alternative to an accredited educational institution)

If you do belong to a nationally accredited group, and still having issues verifying, feel free to log a case with the Education Support Team here : https://www.autodesk.com/education/support/edu-contact-us-form. After that send me a Private Message (hover over my username and select “Send Private Message” with your case number and I’ll do what I can to help out. 

I hope this helped!

We have a home school, I know we were issued a home school number from the state, but it is not nationally recognized program.

How should I move forward?

Thanks.

Mike

[DarrenP]

then you don't qualify for a student license

[mike.a.plummer]

Just to make sure I understand. Having a state issued home school number is not the same as being recognized by a local school governing body. 

Are there any alternative. I work in estimating/sales/project management and am trying to get them involed in Building Information Management. This would in clash detecting using navisworks and revit. 

How do you recommend I proceed?

proceed with what?

The next step is contacting your state representatives and your state attorney general. 

Discrimination against homeschoolers is illegal in some states already and should be in every state.
