I have a brother who use it dayly for his work and use a "piked-up" version as a 
hoby. The maker realy don't mind that, as long as you don't use that copy for 
anything professional.
They made a "light" version that you can have for less than 5% of the price of 
the regular version, made for those who can't "borrow" a copy from work. It's a 
few versions behind.
