A user working from home reported that their PDFs are watermarked when printed from Solid Edge with a home use license. The user needs to produce industry-standard drawings without watermarks and seeks a solution to this issue.
SolutionThe Solid Edge home license is intended for personal, non-commercial use only. The watermark on the PDFs is a feature designed to enforce this licensing restriction. It is not intended for creating or printing commercial or industrial drawings.
1. Understand Licensing Terms:
The Solid Edge home license includes a watermark on all printed PDFs to indicate it is for personal use only. This is by design and cannot be removed under the home license.
2. Commercial License:
To avoid the watermark and legally use Solid Edge for industrial or commercial purposes, the user must purchase a commercial license of Solid Edge. The commercial license allows for the creation and printing of professional drawings without watermarks.
To produce watermark-free PDFs, purchase and use a commercial license of Solid Edge. This will ensure compliance with licensing agreements and provide the necessary features for professional use.
