A couple of months ago, we [discussed](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/1362/) changes to PVS\-Studio's free licensing policy and mentioned our plans to update the process of obtaining licenses for students and teachers\. The update is finally complete, and here's how everything works now\.

To obtain a student license, select the Student License option in the [trial key request form](https://pvs-studio.com/en/pvs-studio/try-free/?license_type=academic) and submit the request using your university email address \(with the university domain\)\. Upon request, we will issue you a temporary one\-month license\.

In addition, you can use the [Compiler Explorer](https://godbolt.org/) website, which allows you to write, compile, and run programs in various programming languages online\. You can check C and C\+\+ code [using PVS\-Studio](https://pvs-studio.com/en/pvs-studio/examples/) directly from the platform interface\. 

You can also get a free license for open\-source projects\. For more information, follow [this link](https://pvs-studio.com/en/order/open-source-license/)\.
