To my knowledge it will appear as long as you using a student/teachers license ....

I never had the problem, but than I never used my AutoCad other than for educational purposes, since it is not legal to use the student/teacher version for commercial purposes...

1.Open the affected drawing 

2.Type "dxfout" in the command prompt 

3.Save the dxf in the location you can easily access 

4.Now, type "dxfin" in the command prompt 

5.Browse the file you save in step3 

6.Save the file as dwg The Produced by an Autodesk Educational Product should be removed upon completion of the steps above. If the educational product plot stamp still appears, check the xref file and apply the steps I’ve mentioned above.

The Simplest way is to buy the licence for the Software,

 

The stamp only appears when you are using the free version.

It usually depends upon the license version you are using and DWG files created using student license have educational stamps, to remove these steps you can follow this trick

  • Start AutoCAD and open the DWG file
  • Now in command prompt type 'dxfout' and save it 
  • Again go to CMD and type 'dxfin'
  • and open the file, the DWG file will open in DXF format but without the stamp. 
  • Save the DXF file in DWG format and the stamp will be removed.

This method will workout for selected AutoCAD version. You can try the AutoCAD File Recovery software. This tool allows you to edit the DWG file and customize it according to your style. It makes the DWG to DXF conversion easy which helps in removing the educational stamp from DWG file.

AutoCAD (and newer) has been designed to remove the plot stamp altogether when a drawing is saved. Once a file is saved in, it can be sent to users on earlier versions and the plot stamp will no longer be a part of the file. The DWGCONVERT command can be used to batch process resaving multiple files
