CAD configurators and the Logic add-on free for schools, permanently. The licence belongs to the school rather than the individual student, support runs through the community, and output carries a watermark.
A school has nothing to sell, but it has something to teach. Driving a finished assembly from rules is a skill you take into your first job — which is why both CAD halves of gull system are free for schools. Not a thirty-day trial, and not a student edition with half the features switched off.
The licence goes to the school, not the individual student. A teacher or a department creates it by registering, we verify and attach it — and the school then joins its students with a single link.
gull system is under active development, and school licences start going out once the platform is finished and the education licence terms are written. You can still get in touch now — we will note you down and tell you the moment the programme opens. You sign nothing and pay nothing.
Everything in gull system that drives CAD. One thing is not in it, and that is deliberate.
You connect to your own assembly or part in your own CAD, capture dimensions and features, and write the rules that drive them. The same build paying customers run.
The add-on for the cases where a value is not computed by a formula — you look it up in a table, or a real calculation sits behind it. It is part of the education licence too.
PDF, STEP, DXF and DWG. Nothing is cut down: whatever a paid licence can export, an education licence can export.
A customer-facing web configurator is not part of the education licence. A school has nothing to sell, so there would be nothing to learn on it — it is the one part the education licence leaves out.
Free does not mean unconditional. These three are the whole of it — nothing else is waiting for you in the terms.
Files produced under an education licence are marked, the same way SOLIDWORKS Student Edition marks its own. Want it gone, or want to run paid work through gull system? Then you need an ordinary licence.
An education licence covers lessons, exercises and term or final projects. A job for a company — even one the school workshop takes on — is commercial use, and it belongs under a paid licence.
An education licence carries no guaranteed response time. You ask in the community, and whoever hit it before you answers. We are writing that here rather than into terms nobody opens.
Two paths, depending on who you are. The school creates an account and we attach the licence to it; a student registers and joins their school’s account with a link.
It is one link that joins anyone who opens it to the school account — which is why it can go to a whole class at once, into an assignment, or onto the board. The other side of that same coin: whoever has the link can join. The school sees how many seats are taken in its own account, and the link can be revoked at any time.
We will say when it opens. The invite will be tied to a gull system account, so you can create one now.
This is not charity and there is no point dressing it up as any. Students who learn gull system at school arrive at their first job already knowing it — and they are the ones who then tell an employer they want it. That is exactly how SOLIDWORKS holds Czech technical schools.
It costs us close to nothing. gull system is desktop software, so a free user is one licence check, and the community absorbs the support rather than our inbox. You get software that otherwise costs money, and a skill the market is short of. That is the whole trade, and it is more honest than talking about supporting education.
Behind gull system is a student — and first place in CAD Designer at CzechSkills 2026, the Czech national skills championship. So what technical schools actually teach, and where it later grates in practice, is not something we know from a survey.
