July 31, 20196 yr Hi, I have P3D Professional. I notice that it does not have the watermark at the upper right corner of the screen. Is this a distinctive feature of P3D Pro? Or did I do something I was not aware or I do not remember?

July 31, 20196 yr Author Hi Davis, I paid $199.00, the regular price on LM Website. Why do you ask please?

Because unless you have a particular licence requirement, the pro version and academic versions are basically the same but the latter has the academic watermark. The academic version is much cheaper than the pro version. See: https://prepar3d.com/product-overview/prepar3d-license-comparison/ Edited August 1, 20196 yr by cconesa
August 1, 20196 yr Moderator The Pro version allows you to install on more than one computer. I attend a monthly flight sim meeting where members bring their laptops with P3D Pro installed. Their desktops remain at home. Without the Pro version they would have to buy two copies of the Academic version. They prefer the Pro option. Ray (Cheshire, England).

The developer license allows for two parallel installations of Pro, but with a watermark. Best regards LORBY-SI

See: https://prepar3d.com/product-overview/prepar3d-license-comparison/ Please make sure to read through the license terms, specifically chapters "1." and "14.13.". The latter explains what "Academic" means, who qualifies for the license - and who doesn't. https://secure.prepar3d.com/solo/products/LicenseAgreement.aspx?ProdOptionID=1089 Best regards Edited August 1, 20196 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

Hello Ray, I have both payment options running and extra Pros for the different versions of P3D. As far as I can tell there is no difference, Devel is Devel, it doesn't matter how you pay for it.
