Reach more schools with your Free-for-Edu softwarein Europe
Most Free-for-Edu programs struggle to reach real classrooms in Europe. Academic Software connects your software directly to verified schools and students, turning free licenses into real adoption and impact.
Many global software vendors offer Free-for-Edu licenses, yet adoption across Europe remains limited. Here’s why:
No direct access to schools. Vendors often lack local connections, trust, and operational capacity to reach European institutions.
No reseller incentive. Local resellers earn nothing on free licenses, so they don’t promote them.
Complex for schools. Each school manages eligibility and setup differently, often manually.
Frustrating for students. Proving eligibility and registering outside their school environment leads many to drop out before installation.
No reliable user validation. Vendors struggle to verify student or educator role while ensuring compliance and data protection.
Result: your Free-for-Edu program remains invisible to schools, and adoption goals stay unmet.
