Hello,
I applied for a temporary academic license about a month ago, but I haven't heard from anyone yet. I also emailed yesterday. I am very much interested in using prodigy for my annotation projects, but I also need to move forward. Would it be possible to get an ETA on the temporary license?
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay – we usually send them out in batches but didn't get to do one over the holidays. And depending on the volume of applications, it takes a bit of time to review them so we can make sure the academic license only goes to researchers (and not people at large companies pretending to be researchers 😉).
We just sent out the next batch so you should have received an email with the details and download link!

Not a problem, I totally understand. And I just received the link! Thanks so much!
