In this article
Student licenses of Max and RNBO are owned by and registered to an individual student. They have the same functionality as licenses that are listed for the full retail price.
Student licenses can be purchased here. You will have to upload an image of your valid school ID during the check-out process.
Please note that Student licenses are not the same as Institutional licenses. An important distinction is that Institutional licenses are registered to and owned by a school, not an individual student. For a full rundown on the differences between licenses, please see this article. If your school would like to purchase Institutional licenses, please visit our Institutions shop page.
How much do Student licenses cost?
We offer both permanent and annual subscription Student licenses for Max and RNBO. To see pricing for each license type, please visit our online shop.
Subscription licenses automatically renew unless canceled. Additional information on subscription licenses can be found here.
Who is eligible for a Student license?
All students who are currently enrolled in school and have a valid identification (ID) qualify for the Student discount.
If you do not have a student ID you can instead upload a document that confirms your enrollment, such as your class schedule, during the purchasing process.
Do I have to be a student in the United States?
No! International students qualify for the discount as well.
Where do I send a copy of my identification?
You will be prompted to upload an image of your ID (or other documentation) during the purchasing process.
Does the Student Annual Subscription automatically renew?
Yes. All subscription licenses automatically renew unless canceled.
How do I purchase the RNBO add-on for my Student Max license?
If you already own a Student Max license, whether that be a permanent or annual subscription license, you can add on a RNBO license via our shop. Navigate to our web store, sign in with the Cycling '74 account that contains your Student Max license, then you should see a drop-down menu titled "Select an eligible license to add RNBO to". If you select a Student license, you should see the option to add RNBO at the discounted student rate.
If you encounter any difficulties, please contact us at sales@cycling74.com.
What if I qualify for the Ableton Customer discount and the Student discount? Can I receive both discounts on a permanent Max license?
No. Cycling '74 does not offer combined discounts.
As a student, can I get discounts on all Cycling '74 products?
The Student discount only applies to first-time purchases of Max and RNBO. We do not offer a Student discount for upgrades.
Do you have a discount for teachers?
We do not offer a discount for individual teacher licenses. If you are a teacher, we encourage you to ask your school to purchase Institutional licenses that you can use. For more information on institutional pricing, please visit our Institutions shop page.
