P3D Professional and Academic versions

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?

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?

Correct, functionality between the two they are identical.

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.

Sorry but this is false, see here: http://prepar3d.com/frequently-asked-questions/. 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.
