Selling an "upgrade" for the difference between the academic and the
"proper" pro verision shouldnt be such a bad deal?

Here in .no you need to show your student identification (issued by
your university/college etc) in order to buy academic versions.

Seems fair to me. Try it out with academic, if you make something
wicked, you get the upgrade and you're where you'd be if you just
bought the "pro" version to begin with.

Then again, i just got home from a bar ;)
