February 16, 201511 yr Hello. I really don't understand the difference between Professional and Academic versions. I saw both products but I haven't found any differences. Are there any videos or description about Professional version?
February 16, 201511 yr In the Academic version there's a visible watermark that says "Academic" in the upper right. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
February 16, 201511 yr Author In the Academic version there's a visible watermark that says "Academic" in the upper right. So, there is just the small watermark in the upper right and no difference in functionality? Just type of license right?
February 16, 201511 yr So, there is just the small watermark in the upper right and no difference in functionality? Just type of license right? Correct, functionality between the two they are identical. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."

February 16, 201511 yr Actually, there are some differences in what you get. The visible differences are the watermark, but under the hood, there are several different features depending on the version of Prepar3D you are purchasing. http://prepar3d.com/product-overview/prepar3d-license-comparison/ Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK.

The OP is asking for differences between the Academic and Professional versions, besides the watermark and splash screens the products are identical. The professional plus version IS different and has greater functionality for military training as stated in the FAQ. Here is a quote from the site What are the differences between the Academic and Professional versions? The only technical differences in the software are that the Academic version has a different splash screen and a small watermark in the top-right corner of the main window. Please be aware that they have different EULAs and usage restrictions. Full details can be found on the License Comparison page. What are the differences between Prepar3D Professional and Prepar3D Professional Plus? The major difference is the Prepar3D Professional Plus has additional features specific for military training. Please visit the product overview and what’s new pages for more information on Prepar3D Professional Plus. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
