What is an Educational Watermark?

For the versions AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based products 2019 till 2021, obtained through the Autodesk Education Community?
Autodesk® AutoCAD® and Autodesk® AutoCAD®-based products of the versions 2019-2021, licensed by students, educators and mentors or competitors in an Autodesk-sponsored design competition through the Autodesk® Education Community, will display an education watermark. This change does not apply to multi-user or network software deployed by educational institutions.

Beginning with AutoCAD 2022, there will no longer be an educational watermark.

What AutoCAD products of the version 2019-2021 contain the watermark?

  • Autodesk® AutoCAD®
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® Architecture
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® Civil 3D
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® Electrical
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® for Mac
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD LT®
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® LT for Mac
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® Map 3D
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® Mechanical
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® MEP
  • Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D

Why has a watermark been reintroduced to AutoCAD 2019 and AutoCAD 2019-based products?
The education watermark will support the legitimate use of Autodesk free education licenses and help ensure students and educators continue to access the same full-product functionality as industry professionals worldwide.

Is this a global change?

Yes, this applies to all education licenses issued to students and educators for AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based products for 2019-2021 and all supported languages.

Changes in AutoCAD 2022 apply for all AutoCAD 2022 based products and all supported languages.

How to Identify an Educational Watermark

When will the watermark be displayed?
A subtle watermark is displayed when plotting or doing a plot preview of a drawing created with AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based products, version 2019-2021, licensed by students and educators through the Autodesk Education Community. A watermark is not displayed on drawings, created using multi-user or network educational institution licenses.

The educational watermark will not be displayed in drawings created by AutoCAD 2022 and AutoCAD 2022 based products.

What does the watermark look like?
When plotting or doing a plot preview of a drawing created with AutoCAD or an AutoCAD-based product, version 2019-2021, licensed by students or educators, users will see this watermark:

When using a commercial license of AutoCAD to open a drawing that was created, using an AutoCAD education license, version 2019-2021, the following task dialog is displayed:

Does the education watermark display when another Autodesk software product is used to open a drawing?
The AutoCAD products listed, version 2019-2021, will produce the watermark and it will persist in other products that consume AutoCAD drawings containing the watermark.

Will I see a warning dialog box when opening a drawing created using a version 2019-2021 of AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based product that displays the watermark in another Autodesk software product?
No. The warning dialog box only appears in AutoCAD-based products.

If a commercial license is used to copy, paste, insert, or reference operations from drawings created using a version 2019-2021 of AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based products that display the watermark, does the education watermark follow the parent drawing and display on other drawings in the commercial organization?
No. This "spread" behavior does not occur with AutoCAD or AutoCAD-based products.

My college lab has AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based products of version 2019-2021 installed. I don't see a watermark when plotting or doing a plot preview of a drawing I created using the software in the lab. Why not?
AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based products of version 2019-2021, licensed through the Autodesk Education Community by educational institutions and installed on the educational institution's computers or devices do not contain an education watermark. Only educational licenses for students, educators, and Autodesk-sponsored design competition competitors and mentors produce the watermark.

Can I remove the education watermark in AutoCAD 2019-2021 and AutoCAD 2019-2021 based products?
No, the only way to remove the educational watermark is to open the drawing in AutoCAD 2022 or an AutoCAD 2022 based product and save the drawing.
