Hi there, i'm a full time student and i've heard that student licensing for vegas 4.0 is unrestricted if your a student... is this true for all countries and will it be the same for 5.0? I'm in australia by the way

unrestricted in what way?

cant use it for commerical purposes. Its for learning/academic just as the name implies. However, there is no difference in commerical/academic versions feature wise. Just profit wise.

According to several earlier posts, there is no difference between academic and non-academic licenses (other than price). Check some of the posts in the following thread:

Do you have the pricing for academic licenses? I am curious about them and can't seem to find them on the site. Could you post the URL or a link if you have them?

Found it here. I guess you can't buy it directly from Sonic Foundry.

Academic pricing is offered by different vendors. Sony has a link on the site that links to academic resellers. I bought mine today for $250 from this site http://store.yahoo.com/studentsoftwarestore/sonicfoundry.html and got my email with all three serial numbers within 3 hours.

Hello,
What's up bowman? From what I understand there is no difference even in what you can do with it. The license has not changed at all. From what I get from talking to other people and e-mailing sony you can use it for commercial purposes. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I ordered my copy today from academic superstore!
