I should use the student version or professional verion ?

Post by hanialbarni »

Hello everyone,

I install the student version but still I don't know anything about it , I cant see the validation button , I can't find any tutorial the same version I am using in youtube , my problem is I need to use it to load my CSV file from Googledocs and then use any method or type to make data analysis as my professor in college require which I will need to use it for my research paper ( methodology chapter ).

So shall I stay with student version or I should purchase the professional version ? my second question is there any tutorial for the last version ?

To be precise - the Professional version is currently provided for free (early bird access) but there is no official promise that this free license is free for a whole year. We are currently testing our licensing procedures and payment methods and as soon as the shop is ready we will revoke that early-bird licenses. Of course we will announce when this will happen some weeks before we revoke the license.

If you click the "Purchase" link, you will see that it is free for now.

You could also use SmartPLS 2 if you want. It is available (for free) on http://www.smartpls.com/smartpls2 .

In base functionalities, SmartPLS 3 and SmartPLS 2 work very similar. So it should not be to difficult to use SmartPLS 3 if you have seen a SmartPLS 2 Tutorial on YouTube or somewhere else.

Currently there is no real "handbook" and first Video tutorials will probably be available in a couple of weeks.
