Microsoft is retiring the Store for Business and Education (more info from Microsoft on this here). There is not currently a student license option available on any of the Stores.įor Mac, we have opted-in to the Apple School Manager program which provides a 50% discount for classrooms. All purchases, downloads, reinstalls and updates are handled through the Stores.ĭo you have a student or Education license?īecause we only distribute Sketchbook through the Stores, we are limited to the available options to provide bulk or discounted licenses to students and educators. We don't sell or distribute Sketchbook directly.

I've sent a bug report to Autodesk, but I haven't seen the issue reported elsewhere.Sketchbook is available to download from the Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, Apple App Store, and Google Play.Ĭan I get Sketchbook directly instead of from one of the Stores? Microsoft published a graphics driver update that fixes hardware acceleration for other apps, but now Sketchbook for Windows Tablet won't start on my device. ONE IMPORTANT CAVEAT: With Windows 10 preview running on the Surface Pro 3, the app runs very poorly because of a bug in build 9926 that crippled hardware acceleration.


If you use Sketchbook, this update is a no-brainer and you may find yourself needing to use the desktop program less often. The app features a very minimal interface that is easy to hide, leaving a full screen blank canvas. Playing with the app briefly on the Surface Pro 3 and my desktop pc with a Monoprice 22" Smarttouch pen display, the experience is very nice.
