• Purchase the student license from the ATLAS.ti online store
  • As soon as the payment is received, your license details will be sent to you by email from no-reply@cleverbridge.com (for example, if you pay with a credit/debit card, the license will be sent almost immediately)

2. Upload your verification documents (within 5 days)

  • A scan of your valid student ID or an official document confirming enrollment at an accredited higher-education institution
  • A second official photo ID (passport or government ID) with the same name

Common issues or mistakes

I want to use my student license for other research or work.

This is not possible. A student license can only be used for the license holder’s own degree studies. It cannot be used for:

• Faculty or institutional research projects
• Consulting or commercial work
• Third-party research projects

If you need to use ATLAS.ti outside your degree studies, you will need a different license type.

A university or institution wishes to buy student licenses for students.

This is not possible. Student licenses are only for individual students and cannot be purchased or held by institutions.

If a university wants to provide ATLAS.ti access to students, they should contact ATLAS.ti Support about campus or institutional licenses.

My student license expired after purchase.

This usually happens when verification documents were not uploaded within 5 days.

My verification was rejected.

Make sure the uploaded documents clearly show:

• Your name
• Your current enrollment status
• The same name on both documents

When to contact support

Contact ATLAS.ti support if:

• You uploaded documents but did not receive a verification email
• Your license expired before verification
• You are unsure which license type you need
• You are a representative from a university or institution that wants to provide ATLAS.ti access to your students
