Educational Edition Software

Anyone purchased any products of this kind?

Is there any limitations on it? Software only works with 1 computer or you only get 1 installation, etc?

Thinking about getting Traktor at the educational price, dirt cheap.

Anyone know any sites btw?

I have a the academic/educational version of logic and so far the only thing they seem to not allow is for me to upgrade it.

Nope, should be the full thing. Check with the company anyway.

I bought Ableton Live 7 as a student and the only difference is that I got it cheaper

exactly what I'm hoping for

college students ftw.

I should even borrow my friends ID's and buy/sell products with those.

most educational versions can't be updated, like djcami said with logic. gotta think about that. if you want to upgrade to the next version later on, you're most likely gonna have to buy the full program again. it might end up costing you more because of that in the end.

Err...no. Like I said, they are the full product just cheaper. Apple must be the only company who does this, but to be fair afaik they are fully upgradeable.

Like I said, check with the company. An email takes 1min to write.

i'm only going by what i've heard. and mostly, i've heard that they cannot be upgraded. i think the student versions of adobe products are like that also. of course different companies might have different policies on this, so it's best to confirm how it goes, so you don't have to regret in the future.

Got Cubase Studio 4 academic version.. it's the exact same thing. I'm able to get updates for it as well.

This is true. It depends on the company. Not every company offers upgrades on their educational software.

Oh yea definitely, I was talking purely about music production sequencers. Adobe doesn't allow you to upgrade, that is true but I wasn't thinking about non-music products

Got this in an email from NI:

Educational versions are limited to 1 install and it is unable to be re-sold
later. You can upgrade it with a standard update later on though.


just in case anyone was wondering...
