Question
I also had the problem with de "Educational Products" plot stamp. There is a legal program
on www.anydwg.com that can convert dwg in any kind of version of AutoCAD without using AutoCAD. You just convert the infected drawing (for example:version 2004) to version 2004 and let the program work. The new drawing is cleaned of de Educational Product plot stamp.


Answer
Hi from California--

Sorry, I can't consider anything that removes the stamp to be legal.(other than by Autodesk or resellers) And I SURE cannot be seen advocating that people do that, or I would be complicit in piracy.

There are plenty of people who would use the student products for their work if they could get away with it.

Remember, the profit Autodesk makes in selling AutoCAD helps to create the new software -- no profit if everyone is cheating.
