How do I buy a product with an educational discount?
To receive an educational discount, proof of eligibility is required. Only with a valid proof entitling you to an educational discount can the purchase be completed. Therefore, for each product in our Education Shop, you'll find the option to initiate a verification process. In this process, you'll sign in with your Steinberg ID, specify the number of licenses needed, and finally upload your proof of eligibility. Once this proof has been reviewed and approved, you will be notified and can proceed to complete the purchase.
For information on how to submit a proof of eligibility to dealers, please contact the respective dealer directly.
