• As a music student with less than 20 education units per month, am I eligible for the education discount?

  Yes, if your course/lessons go on for more than six months. The essential factor is whether your education continues over a longer period of time. Education units per month can vary in time. One education unit is usually counted for with 45-60 minutes.

• Are there any limitations to the education products?

  There are no technical limitations to the education versions. However, any results that were produced with education products may not be used commercially and may not be sold.

• Is there a possibility to update / upgrade from an education version to a higher version of the software?

  Yes, but not at a special education price. Updates and upgrades can be purchased at the regular price from the Steinberg online shop. By updating / upgrading your education version you receive a regular, commercially usable full version.

• I follow an audio-/ recording course in my free time; am I entitled for the education discount?

  Yes, if your course runs for more than six months.

• I follow an education in the area of audio. Can I take advantage of the education discount?

  Yes, but only if your education is really related to the field of audio.

• As a charity association, registered association etc., can I apply for the education discount?

• Can I install a product on multiple computers?

• Can I resell an education license.

  No, education licenses are bound to the buyer. In order to resell your product, you need to purchase an update / upgrade to the next higher version first. This will exchange your education license with a commercial license.

• Why do I need to send Steinberg a new proof of eligibility on a frequent basis?

  To prevent fraud, education accounts at FastSpring are not valid forever. This is why you need to send us a new proof of eligibility frequently. This is necessary to verify that your current status allows you to receive an education discount.

• Can I purchase education software at my local distributor?

  Yes, that is possible. But the proof of eligibility needs to be checked by the distributor directly. Steinberg does not check for documents if you order from a reseller.

• I work on behalf of a school / institution. Can I get a quote from Steinberg?

  Yes, that is possible. Please send us the delivery address of your choice (e.g. school address) and the amount of products that you look for. Do you need a special variant? Please let us know.

• Can I use my MySteinberg data for the education account?

  No, MySteinberg has no connection to the education account at our partner firm FastSpring.

• Do churches or public service institutions qualify for the education discount?

  No. In this case, our regular products are relevant to you.
