Altium Designer
Students must now register for an academic license by creating a new account at:
https://www.altium.com/education/students
You must create a new account using the student registration link. It does not seem to be possible to convert an existing Altium account to a student license. If you have already registered with Altium using your netID@vols.utk.edu email address, you may need to create a new account using your netID@utk.edu or netID@tennessee.edu alias.
Registration Process
There are several steps to register for your account. You sign up at https://www.altium.com/education/students, verify that you're a member of an academic institution, complete a registration form, wait a few minutes for registration to complete and send you an email, verify your email, then finally activate your account and set a password.
If you have trouble with the Altium registration process you can contact their student support team at studentsupport@altium.com
