How do we update Construct 3?
Construct 3 will automatically update to the latest and greatest version. You do not need to spend hours updating individual machines - it's all handled for you and will save you a lot of time.
-
Can I buy Construct 3 with a purchase order?
The easiest and fastest way to pay is online via debit/credit card. However we recognise this isn't always possible. If you'd like to pay with a purchase order please contact us and let us know:
- Your full billing address
- License type and number of seats you require
- Prefered method of payment
We will then send you a quote.
-
Do you have a simpler version available?
Yes! We offer a "Simplified UI" mode that trims away a lot of the more advanced features of Construct 3. This is useful for younger or less experienced students and helps ease them into Construct 3. You can always turn back on the advanced features whenever you want.

Who can buy educational licenses?
Any business or educational institute can buy educational licenses as long as the following conditions are met:
-
The end users of the license are only teachers or students
-
Teacher use is limited to activities directly supporting students learning and activities (for example lesson planning or running lessons).
If you are an educational business and you also need to use Construct outside of these conditions you will need to buy additional business licenses.
Only business owners, administrators and teachers may buy Construct 3 educational licenses. Students are not permitted to buy these licenses. If you are a student, you will need to contact your organisation to purchase these licenses, otherwise you will need your own Personal license.

I'm getting "Requests to this domain have been blocked" or similar error messages
It's common for schools and other educational organisations to have to whitelist domains before they can be accessed from a school network.
The simplest solution is to request a whitelist for *.construct.net — you may need to contact your network administrator to ask for this.
A current full list of explicit domains is listed below if the network administrator is not comfortable adding a general rule. Please note some of these domains are important for the functioning of Construct 3. Disabling/enabling selectively may cause access issues.

If you still are getting these errors when running Construct 3 - try running Construct 3 in Google Chrome in Incognito mode. If Construct 3 works in incognito mode, then one of your browser extensions is causing the issue and you should disable them one by one until the culprit is found.
If you have completed all the above steps and are still encountering issues, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Can I use the Free Edition in my educational institute?
Yes, all educational organisations may use the free edition in their lessons and classes. Please note, if you're buying third party materials that make use of Construct 3 you must have a paid license.
-
Can Construct 3 generate an EXE file to submit to exam boards?
Yes. In Construct 3, if you export your project and select Desktop, it will generate an EXE file to run the game.

Do you offer student discounts?
Educational plans are for teachers/institutes to purchase and we do have minimum order quantities. Currently we do not offer single plan licenses or specific student discounts. Instead, Personal Editions should be purchased.
