Using A Student License at a Workplace

[Anonymous]

Hello, I was using my Fusion 360 product registered with student license. Now I'm an intern at a company, I usually have free time and I'm wondering that if I use this product on my computer connected to workplace network will company get "punished(?)"?

Although Fusion 360 is cloud based and your  student files are stored in the cloud..   Accessing and working on them at your work is kind of grey area..  However when it comes to educational license I always recommend you error on the caution side and don't do it at all.  Autodesk may see it another way if the  company that you're working for gets audited (and they get fined for).  In the end is it not worth risk or you end up causing problems with your internship or future job prospect.
