| 5 | +# 📚 Phoenix Pro for Schools & Universities (Free) |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Phoenix Code provides **Phoenix Pro free of charge** to all eligible educational institutions, teachers, and students. |
| 8 | +Schools can deploy Phoenix Pro in two ways: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +1. **Email-based automatic activation** (recommended) |
| 11 | +2. **Educational Volume License Keys** (for labs, shared devices, and student-owned devices) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This page explains how schools and universities can obtain free Phoenix Pro access and deploy it across **any devices used within the institution**. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +--- |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## 🎓 Who Is Eligible? |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Phoenix Pro is free for: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +* Students and teachers with **.edu** or **.ac.*** email addresses |
| 22 | +* Institutions we already recognize and verify |
| 23 | +* Schools requesting **Educational Volume Licenses** |
| 24 | +* Both **commercial and non-commercial** educational use |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Volume licenses may be applied to: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +* School-owned lab computers |
| 29 | +* Shared classroom devices |
| 30 | +* **Student-owned laptops/home computers** (per administrator distribution) |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +--- |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +# 🚀 Option 1: Email-Based Student & Teacher Activation (Instant) |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Phoenix Pro is automatically activated for users who log in with: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +* A **.edu** email |
| 39 | +* A **.ac.*** email |
| 40 | +* Any **recognized school domain** already onboarded to Phoenix Code |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### **How It Works** |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +1. Open Phoenix Code |
| 45 | +2. Sign in using your school email |
| 46 | +3. Phoenix Pro activates instantly |
| 47 | +4. No approval or license file required |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +--- |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## 🏫 Schools Without a `.edu` or `.ac.*` Domain |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Some schools, especially K-12 institutions, use custom domains. |
| 54 | +We support these too. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### To onboard your school domain: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Email **[support@core.ai](mailto:support@core.ai)** with: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +* Subject: |
| 61 | + **`[education support] Request to onboard <School Name>`** |
| 62 | +* School website URL |
| 63 | +* Admin/teacher contact email |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Once your domain is approved, all users with that email domain automatically receive Phoenix Pro upon login. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +--- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +# 🖥️ Option 2: Educational Volume License (For Labs + Student Devices) |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Educational Volume Licenses allow schools to activate Phoenix Pro on devices **without requiring login**. |
| 72 | +This is suitable for: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +* Classrooms & computer labs |
| 75 | +* Exam-mode machines |
| 76 | +* Devices shared across many students |
| 77 | +* **Student-owned laptops**, when a school wants simple bulk activation |
| 78 | +* Younger students without email accounts |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +### ✔ Cost |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +**Free** for all educational usage. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +--- |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +## 🎟️ Requesting a Volume License Key |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Email **[support@core.ai](mailto:support@core.ai)** with: |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +* Subject: |
| 91 | + **`[educational license request for <School Name>]`** |
| 92 | +* School name |
| 93 | +* School website |
| 94 | +* Your role/title |
| 95 | +* Administrator email for license management |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +We will verify the school and assign management access to that admin account in: |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +🔗 [https://account.phcode.dev/](https://account.phcode.dev/) |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +The admin will find a new section under: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +**Advanced Settings → Educational Volume License** |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +From there, you can obtain the license key. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +--- |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +## 🔑 How Volume License Keys Work |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +* Each license key is **valid for 2 weeks** |
| 112 | +* During these 2 weeks, you may activate **unlimited devices**: |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | + * School-owned devices |
| 115 | + * Lab computers |
| 116 | + * Shared machines |
| 117 | + * **Student-owned devices (allowed)** |
| 118 | +* Once activated, a device stays Phoenix Pro **permanently** |
| 119 | +* After the 2-week window, the key expires |
| 120 | +* Admins can generate a **new key at any time** for new devices |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +This model ensures: |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +* Easy deployment |
| 125 | +* Secure, non-permanent keys |
| 126 | +* No login required on each machine |
| 127 | + |
