A lot of new software releases at 12:01 will p3d be the same?

I will be staying up late just in case, as I have to get off to work in the morning. It'd be great to have it on board and ready to install for Monday evening fun.

 

It's Christmas Eve.... :-) 

You could take the gamble that there will be a new version out within 20 months and get the developer version.    It doesn't say you must be a developer, just an interest in developing.   

 

    If V3 takes longer, probably will then you will have paid more I guess..

My goodness, confusion reigns supreme!

 

As a corollary to this topic, any users of Flight Simulator may expect the MS Police at their door soon - to ensure that no user has ever learned anything from FS.

FS is for entertainment use only and any knowledge of flying and airplanes which you may have acquired, must be removed from your brain's memory each evening.

 

Should you actually wish to LEARN something, a P3D licence is available. It is not licenced for entertainment purposes.

Be aware that any pleasure you may derive from using P3D must be expunged promptly. You may also be tested from time to time to ensure you are not being entertained and that an appropriate amount of learning has actually occurred. Persons failing to learn anything from P3D may expect serious consequences.

The Academic license is only for undergraduate or k-12 students.

 

The Academic Licence for V1.x is for those who are " licensed, chartered or otherwise accredited to provide Academic Education."

 

It`s getting close. Cant belive the moment we all been waiting for is just a few hours away. Whit P3D and all that amazing things going on over at orbx i can finally see a way back into flight simming. Orbx is even doing a custom landclass for Norway south my home country..., nothing, but blue skyes ahead. Cant wait!    

Arwen, you can buy a copy for my daughter who is in Junior year of highschool.  She is too busy texting to have any chance of using it !!!  By the way don't feel too bad for LM...as of last Friday they have $2.66 Billion of cash on hand.

Arwen - I'll try to  find the link but I read one of the many interviews LM has done recently re V2.0 and in response to a question the answer was essentially anyone can buy the academic license for simulation. You do not have to be currently in school. BUT it also said that if you are a CFI r professional you need to buy the pro license.

 

I also suggest that we end this discussion as it's getting to the point where it will be shut down.

 

Since I am n California I'll probably take one shot at 00:01AM or wait until tomorrow night. I would have thought that those across the pond would have been able to buy it since it's Monday there but I have heard nothing t support that.

Here's a link to L-M's licensing criteria, laid out nicely in table form:  http://www.prepar3d.com/product-overview/prepar3d-license-comparison/

 

Seems clear enough to me...read it, decide for yourself what applies and/or how much your integrity is worth, and go with it.

 

That said, let's let the "which license should/can/must I buy?" discussion die right here.  Please see Tom Allensworth's post on EULA discussions pinned at the top of this forum if you have any questions.

 

Cheers

Thanks for all the help.

 

I'll just have to figure this out on my own, as it was never my intent to stir things up.  All I was hoping for was that someone could help me with my confusion in this, but there are way too may different interpretations of this, so I'm more confused than ever.  But I'll drop this in the interest of everyone and just deal with it on my own (somehow).

 

To all those who tried to help me, I've started a new topic "Twas the Night Before Prepar3d," to show my appreciation (and to try to inject a little humor here).  

Man...Buying from LM is a nightmare..

 

They don't accept Am ex..no Pay Pal.. and then this

 

 

I only have a BOA Debit card/VISA..

 

But it say the Bank is rejecting it... Hmm....

For those of you who are interested the developers license is available for purchase and download now. I have purchased the Professional Plus developers license and am downloading it as you read this. Not sure if you can purchase the academic of professional license yet. Merry Christmas comes early

Downloading the Academic Licensed copy now ... :rolleyes:

 

10.6 GB...

I must be late to the party... I tried registering about 15 minutes ago and still no email to activate my account. Maybe it'll come by morning.

I called a buddy of mine in CA and asked him to log into my account and use his Credit card and place the order and now I am downloading it.. Woot Woot!

 

 

She is too busy texting to have any chance of using it !!!

 

Brilliant !!!
