+title: Phoenix Pro for Education (Free)
+---
+
+# Phoenix Pro for Schools & Universities (Free)
+A large portion of the Phoenix Code community comes from schools and universities, where students and teachers value ease of use and a low learning curve. Education has always been central to our mission, and we want every student to have access to the full Phoenix Pro feature set without barriers.
+
+For this reason, we provide **Phoenix Pro for free to the entire education ecosystem**, along with deployment tools tailored to classrooms, labs, and student devices.
+
+Schools can deploy Phoenix Pro in two ways:
+
+1. **Email-based automatic activation** (recommended)
+2. **Educational Volume License Keys** (for labs, shared devices, and student/teacher-owned devices)
+
+This page explains how schools and universities can obtain free Phoenix Pro access and deploy it across **any devices used within the institution**.
+
+---
+
+## Who Is Eligible?
+
+Phoenix Pro is free for:
+
+* Students and teachers with **.edu** or **.ac.*** email addresses
+* Institutions we already recognize and verify
+* Schools requesting **Educational Volume Licenses**
+* Both **commercial and non-commercial** educational use
+
+Volume licenses may be applied to:
+
+* School-owned lab computers
+* Shared classroom devices
+* **Student/teacher-owned laptops/home computers** (per administrator distribution)
+
+---
+
+# Option 1: Email-Based Student & Teacher Activation (Instant)
+
+Phoenix Pro is automatically activated for users who log in with:
+
+* A **.edu** email
+* A **.ac.*** email
+* Any **recognized school domain** already onboarded to Phoenix Code
+
+### **How It Works**
+
+1. Open Phoenix Code
+2. Sign in using your school email
+3. Phoenix Pro activates instantly
+4. No approval or license key required
+
+---
+
+## Schools Without a `.edu` or `.ac.*` Domain
+
+Some schools, especially K-12 institutions, use custom domains.
+We support these too.
+
+### To onboard your school domain:
+
+Email **[support@core.ai](mailto:support@core.ai)** with:
+
+* Subject:
+  **`[education support] Request to onboard <School Name>`**
+* School website URL
+* Admin/teacher contact email
+
+Once your domain is approved, all users with that email domain automatically receive Phoenix Pro upon login.
+
+---
+
+# Option 2: Educational Volume License (For Labs + Student/Tecaher Devices)
+
+Educational Volume Licenses allow schools to activate Phoenix Pro on devices **without requiring login**.
+This is suitable for:
+
+* Classrooms & computer labs
+* Devices shared across many students
+* **Student/teacher-owned laptops**, when a school wants simple bulk activation
+* Younger students without email accounts
+
+### ✔ Cost
+
+**Free** for all educational usage.
+
+---
+
+## Requesting a Volume License Key
+
+Email **[support@core.ai](mailto:support@core.ai)** with:
+
+* Subject:
+  **`[educational license request for <School Name>]`**
+* School name
+* School website
+* Your role/title
+* Administrator email for license management
+
+We will approve the school and assign management access to that admin account in:
+
+🔗 [https://account.phcode.dev/](https://account.phcode.dev/)
+
+The admin will find a new section under:
+
+**Advanced Settings → Phoenix Pro Edu - Volume License Key**
+
+From there, you can obtain the license key.
+
+![Alt text](images/edu/vol-license.png)
+
+---
+
+## How Volume License Keys Work
+
+* Each license key is **valid for 2 weeks**
+* During these 2 weeks, you may activate **unlimited devices**:
+  * School-owned devices
+  * Lab computers
+  * Shared machines
+  * **Student/teacher-owned devices (allowed)**
+* Once activated, a device stays Phoenix Pro **permanently**
+* After the 2-week window, the key expires
+* Admins can generate a **new key at any time** for new devices
+
+This model ensures:
+
+* Easy deployment
+* Login is optional, no login required on each machine.
+* The device now has Phoenix Pro permanently
+- School admin may rotate(reissue) keys as needed
+
+---
+
+## Activating Phoenix Pro Using a Volume License Key (Desktop App)
+
+On any device—lab or student-owned:
+
+1. Open **Phoenix Code Desktop**
+2. Go to:
+   **Help → Manage Licenses**
+3. Enter the Education Volume License Key
+4. Click **Activate**

+

+
+# Limitations
+
+### Students without school email and no school onboarding
+
+If a student does not have a school-provided email **and the school is not onboarded**, we currently cannot issue individual student educational licenses.
+
+### Volume licenses must be requested by authorized school representatives
+
+Students cannot request volume licenses directly without school/teacher approval.
