The students simply download the software from the internet, install it on their personal computer and activate it with this license.

 

Prof. Thonfeld (University of Applied Science in Jena/Germany): "After I started using SAM for my mechanism design course, the percentage of students replying after the course that they had become interested in the topic increased from 61% to 80%. Also the grades improved by more than 20% .... and last-but-not-least the feedback scores of the students about the attractiveness of the course also went up".
