You’ll never get those add-ons in a free package, as it takes institutional knowledge and full-time work to develop it, which cost $$. Cadence, Keysight, etc.

Cadence, Keysight, etc. provide the licenses to universities, not individual students, but they are pretty easy to get. Sounds like you need to work the channels through a professor.
- mhh__ 6y agoEasier said than done when you're studying physics rather than EE, and during lockdown. I've got the software now, it just took a ridiculously long amount of time for them to give me a generic text file. Altium didn't work at all so I definitely didn't borrow a friends .edu email wink wink. The Keysight website doesn't actually have a list of universities in its software program so I didn't bother checking whether I could apply. > You’ll never get those add-ons in a free package, as it takes institutional knowledge and full-time work to develop it, which cost $$. Given the amount of malware (sorry - I mean license management) the software comes with its their own fault if a team of one student manages to design their own motherboard or similar. Realistically I just wanted to play with some CAD software. > provide the licenses to universities, Not for free usually.
- madengr 6y agoI’ve never heard of the big vendors charging universities. They usually bend over backwards to get their software installed.
