Is academic access not free?

[David McMurrey]

I was told by Oliver (thanks, Oliver) that academic use of Confluence is free. However, I got a note from someone named Leroy who said it is not free but is a 75% discount. What?

I'm looking forward to having my classes at Austin Community College use Confluence to show their projects and comment.

Hi David.You might be looking for a Classroom license.

As explained in https://www.atlassian.com/solutions/survey/classroom-license-request this license is free if you are running the Data Center deployment.

If you would like to use it on the Atlassian Cloud, then you can get a 75% discount.

That page I shared would be your starting point to request the license.

I hope that helps.

Kind regards

Thiago

They're both wrong-ish.

There is a free version of Cloud Confluence, with reduced functionality and a limit of 10 active users.  There's no rules about who can sign up.

Academic users can get a 50% discount for Data Centre (not Cloud) installations

Charitable non-profits can get 75% off their Cloud subscription (from memory, they also have to be not a government organisation, not commercial, not academic and secular)

Cloud licencing rules are at https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/cloud#cloud-premium
