Student software are typically standard retail software sold at discount.
While they are the same in features the licensing and support are different.
Student software is typically sold at around a 50 percent discount but
the user is to use the product for educational purposes only not commercial.
Support tend to be limited as well although with the numerous forums
and web sites dedicated to most commercial software the resourceful student
can find plenty of help outside of the classroom.
Software upgrade prices for students can be similar to the commercial
versions as the vendors want to encourage students to eventually move
to the retail version.
Only registered students with a valid student ID and number can purchased
software through the school or the numerous online cheap academic software
discount retailers. Software manufacturers have been cracking down in
recent years on unlicensed student software retailers from selling the
cheap academic versions on sale.
Only vendor licensed student software stores are allowed to sell reduced
price student versions. These stores will usually ask for a fax of proper
student ID of a proper academic institution before allowing a purchase
to be made. Doing a search on "student software" or "academic
software discount" will typically bring up a long list of stores
in the regular search results along with ads for resellers.
Student software is a great way to educate yourself on commercial software
at a discount before using purchasing the retail version with full support
for your commercial endevours. Hopefully, you can get them while you
are a student or perhaps some part time institutions or local community
courses will qualify you for the discounts.
