Generally there are free trials or FOSS alternatives for most academic programs because academics are stingey af.
Cursory search showed Spin Works might suit your needs.
Well, and also because journal publication incentivizes using FOSS for reproducibility
Yeah, I was being a bit flippant but it's true that FOSS is more compatible with open science. To be honest nothing I use anymore is paid. My testing software, analysis software and modelling software is all FOSS and developed by Academics in my area and I honestly don't see an advantage to paid versions. Shit, we even use Inkscape to edit figures.
rutracker has mnova, 32bit windows version differs by only 2 octets from original iirc so it has to be clean
I've seen stuff like ArcGIS on torrent sites the last time I checked. Dunno about Mnova.
Sidenote: their licenses are crazy complicated. I really wish there were just FOSS alternatives to everything. I know there's QGIS/GRASS GIS for ArcGIS, R for S (or is it the other way around? I forgot), MuseScore for Sibelius/Finale/etc., and so on. And also LibreOffice for MS Office of course. But I think some academic/professional software is just so niche and/or has institutional players (like companies, governments, and universities) that are so committed to it that it can be hard to get people to change.
