# 📚 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+

# 🖥️ 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.

## 🎟️ 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+

# 🚫 Limitations
150+
151+

154+
155+
### ❌ Volume licenses must be requested by authorized school representatives
156+
