   Student & Teacher edition?
  I have been looking in to buying certain software, and I noticed that some of them have a Student & Teacher version.  Can someone tell me what the difference is other then the insanely lower price?   
  While I can't say without knowing what software you're talking about, I assume the software is the same but the license is restricted to non-commercial applications, for educational purposes only.Essentially they're giving free samples of their software to those who may one day need to use it professionally, to increase their brand awareness.   ;  Student versions are often equals to the non-student version but you have to be a student or teacher or institution to buy it (you usually have to send some document attesting it) ans you can't use the software for commercial applications. It is basically meant to be used to learn how the software work and they hope the student will become addicted to it so he will also use it when he will become a professional.   ;  That's great guys, that's what I wanted to know.  I was looking at buying Photoshop CS5 Student version but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a chopped up version.
