Educational editions
For developer teams or for education, multi-seat Team Editions are available. They can be installed on a network server or on a given number of PCs.

For a Game Programming course use our 25 lesson curriculum with an exit exam at http://tutorial.3dgamestudio.net.
The Team Editions are based on the Commercial or Pro Edition, but don't include the license to publish and distribute games. For this, an additional single edition is required.
