Substance 3D Education License Application proces not working?

Community Beginner ,
May 17, 2023 May 17, 2023

I'm trying to apply for Substance 3D Painter eductional licenses, but the web site doesn't work!  I follow the steps, but no email is ever received from donotreply@adobepartneroffer.com with the instructions to validate my eligibility.  It's been this way for months now and really feels like Adobe are just trying to force us all to give up and pay for subscription.  I'm a student and simply can't afford to do that, so will have no choice but to use other tools instead.  Not a great way to attract and retain new users of your tools, Adobe.

 

Any update on when the educational license process will be working for Substance 3D, please?

Hi @Xander29565065ru7t,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue.

 

Having been a 3D student myself, I know how bothering this can be and you're in fact not the first one to complain about this issue.

 

I am currently investigating on the problem and I'll get back to you as soon as I have an answer to give you.

 

Best regards,

No, it’s been acknowledged as an issue by Adobe support and is being investigated, but no update yet. 😢

Adobe-Substance3d-Education-Issue-1.JPGThanks, but has there been any progress, please?  My trial ran out over a week ago and I have lots of work to do.  Without the educational license, I can no longer use Substance Painter.  I tried the process again and it now gives me an error stating, "Unique ID already exists".  I assume this means some form of account has been created in the "Substance" context to map to my main Adobe account, but the email telling me how to progress isn't being generated / sent?

 

Please help resolve this ASAP, the process has been unavailable now for over 2 months (was previously sat with a banner on the web page saying it was "down for maintenance" for well over a month).

 

Thanks,

 

Xander

Hi Tom,

 

We seem to frequently have issues with these student licenses and we are currently looking for solutions. In the meantime, could you dm me your e-mail (the one you used for the student license), so we can try to send you a new code?

Best regards,

Hi, it still does not seem to work, this has worked for me last year but now I've been trying to renew the free subscription for students.

I tried to renew my education license and have the same issue. I tried to reach out to the support chat but only got the answer that I can't renew the education license after 12 months and would need to pay for it. Otherwise I would need to apply for the free license with a new Adobe Account. But the FAQ states: "If you are still eligible at the end of the 12 months, you can renew your student license following the same redemption process."

I submitted the form and never received instructions on how to proceed. Resubmitting the form leads to the error message "Unique ID already exists."

Hello,

 

Thanks for the message.

 

As long as you're a student, the licence is free! No need to pay for a subscription! Can you DM me the e-mail address used when asking the student licence?

 

Let me know.

The website still does not work. Are you still working on getting it fixed, or can I also send my e-mail adress for student access?

Hello @Cyril Dellenbach 
Unfortunately, I have the same problem. Like the others, 
I am unable to activate the teacher plan since the confirmation email is not arriving (already checked the spam folder many times).
It would be amazing if you could help me with this, too.
Kind regards,

Hello!

I am also currently having problems with recieving the email while getting my substance licence.

I have tried everything, making new emails every time, reaching out to support team - nothing helped. I am in a huge need for substance as I need it to finish my college studies.

Hi, I've had the same problem (and I'm honestly surprised that this has been going on for over two years at this point).

My UK friends don't have this issue but I can't get the Substance Education license from GER (same with other GER students I've talked to).

I've tried to get it almost a year ago when I started my Masters but I ran into the exact problem described here. I tried again now and still ran into the same issue. I hope there is any way to still get the Education license?

 

Last time I tried, I felt support just wanted to not understand what I was saying - and in the end I got kinda ghosted. Not letting this go just yet though.
