OSLO-EDU is a free Windows program with a reduced number of features compared to OSLO Light. Please see Differences Between the EDU and Light Editions of OSLO for a detailed comparison. It also restricts you to working with systems that have up to 10 surfaces. Although OSLO-EDU does not include all the capabilities of OSLO Light, Standard or Premium, it does give you optical design power that exceeds many commercial programs. OSLO-EDU gives you the basic ability to lay out, edit, optimize, analyze, tolerance, and save a wide range of optical systems. OSLO-EDU is perfectly tailored for educational use.

As a retired optical designer, I like it for education purposes.

The User Guide, which can also be downloaded from the Lambda Research website, is an excellent introduction to optical design, taking a beginner right through from the first encounter with OSLO EDU to a "real" design project - a Cooke triplet - from first concept to analysis, optimisation and finally issuing ISO10110 drawings with all the tolerances. Also included is a chapter on the foundations of programming in the C-like "CCL" macro language, for which the compiler is available even in the free version of the OSLO software (which is restricted to lenses with 10 surfaces or fewer, including the image)
