Use of Student Edition license for thesis

Hi,

For the past 5 months, I've been working on my bachelor's engineering thesis, the subject of which is an axial flux motor with magnets in a Halbach configuration. For initial design and simulations, I've used Altair SimLab 2024, which I gained access thanks to Student Edition license.

I hadn't checked the main Altair website after my first coupe of visits but now I see the site has been updated, and the permitted usage for thesis work falls under Academic Edition license. This wasn't that clearly stated in the 2024 version of the website - unless I am critically mistaken - so I assumed I could freely use Student Edition license for my thesis.

I have also read different posts in here of users claiming to make use of Student Edition license for their theses, and I haven't seen any responses stating that they may not do so.

Now, I have doubts and my deadlines are approaching, so I want to be absolutely clear and confident about futher actions.

Can I use the simulation results in my thesis despite using Student Edition license?
