The Foundry recently took the smart step of releasing Nuke Non-Commercial, which is a full fledged version of Nuke – bar a few disabled features, which means you can try your hand at it for free, and without a time limit. To get started with Nuke you can soak up the free resources on The Foundry's own learning page or buy a course on FXPHD.com.

Nuke Non-commercial is a free version of Nuke that runs outside the regular licensing model. Nuke Non-commercial is meant for personal, educational, and other non-commercial use. It is aimed at students, industry professionals, and others interested in Nuke. It includes most of the features of the commercial version of Nuke, offering you a chance to explore and learn the application fully while using it from the comfort of your own home.
Licensing Nuke Non-commercial on Windows. Subscription licensing differs from traditional node locked or floating licenses in that a single license, or entitlement, is valid on any authorized device up to the entitlement's maximum number of activations.
You can run Nuke, NukeX, and Nuke Studio in non-commercial mode using the --nc command line argument. For example, to launch Nuke Studio in non-commercial mode on Mac, enter:
/Applications/Nuke13.0v5/Nuke13.0v5.app/Contents/MacOS/Nuke13.0 --nc --studio
Nuke Non-commercial is a fully functional version of Nuke, but as it's designed for non-commercial use only, it does differ from the commercial version in some aspects. Here are the main differences:
• Certain nodes are disabled in Nuke Non-commercial, including BlinkScript, GenerateLUT, Primatte, Ultimatte, and WriteGeo.
• Rendered output is restricted to 1920x1080 HD and the MPEG4 and H.264 formats are disabled.
• The Python API only allows the retrieval of 10 nodes per script.
• Command line renders are restricted to encrypted .nknc scripts.
• Frame Server worker rendering is disabled.
• Exporting EDL/XML sequences is disabled.
• Exporting LUTs from MatchGrade is disabled.
• Gizmos, clipboard contents, .hrox project files, .nk, and CopyCat .cat files scripts are all encrypted.
• Monitor Output is disabled.
In other respects, Nuke Non-commercial contains all the functionality of the commercial version of Nuke.
The Foundry has released Nuke Non-Commercial, its new free edition of Nuke for learning, personal projects and research work. The new version was released to coincide with NAB 2015.
No watermark, but still quite a few restrictions
First announced last October, Nuke Non-Commercial provides users with access to the complete feature sets of Nuke, NukeX and Nuke Studio 9.
Unlike the PLE edition it replaces, its output isn't watermarked, although there are still quite a few restrictions, including a couple of new ones since the edition was originally announced.

First of all, everything the software saves or exports, including scripts and gizmos, and data copied to the clipboard, is encrypted; and cannot be loaded by the commercial editions.
Output is capped at HD resolution, there is no support for third-party plugins or Frame Server slave rendering, and Python scripting and use of Terminal mode are restricted.
In addition, 2D format support is disabled for MPEG-4 and H.264, as are the WriteGeo, Primatte, Ultimatte, BlinkScript and GenerateLUT nodes; and there is no video monitor output support.
As you might expect, users of the Non-Commercial edition don't qualify for one-to-one support, but The Foundry has set up a dedicated product support forum.

So who can use it?
The new edition is descrbed as being for 'anyone who wants to learn, explore and have fun with Nuke'.
That includes students wishing to learn the software, but unlike Autodesk's educational licences, it can't be used by educational institutions wishing to teach the software.
And unlike Pixar's free edition of RenderMan, research use doesn't include developing commercial plugins.
The Foundry has quite a detailed FAQs section on its website covering who is and isn't eligible to use the software, so if you're unsure, it's worth checking that out first.
Availability
The free Nuke Non-Commercial edition is available now for 64-bit Windows 7 and 8, Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9, CentOS/RHEL 5 and CentOS/RHEL 6.
Nuke Non-commercial
The software is available as a rolling licence, so you'll need to be online every 30 days to keep using it. You can run the software on up to two machines at a time.
