community edition

onyourmark

I teach data science at my uni. For a GUI based approach I have used Weka. If I go with RapidMiner Community version what limitations are there and will my students be able to have more than a year's access? Of course Weka is free always. What limitations are there on the community version of Rapidminer?

Hi @onyourmark,

Yes as long as you're using RapidMiner for educational purposes, the licences can be renewed free of cost!

Cheers,

Hi @onyourmark,

the biggest limitation is the 10,000 row limit, and missing out on AutoModel and TurboPrep.

If you teach with smaller datasets up to this size, you and your students won't have any problem, now and the future (the free license is perpetual).

There is also an Academic version which you and your students would be eligible for. This version doesn't have a row limit.

Regards,

Hello @Balázs,

Thanks. If we use the Academic version can students renew their license as long as they are in university? And is the professor eligible for a perpetual free license? 

Thanks again

hi @onyourmark I'd be happy to renew your academic license + promote you to "university professor" so you can have access to our materials. Please just send me a private message.
