Well, that and.. Its been more than 10 years since MS put out a 
"student" version of anything that didn't basically leave out a mess of 
features, on the grounds that you "don't really need them". Their 
versions of Visual Studio being a good example. The student additions 
where usually made so that you couldn't compile to a full executable, 
which would run separate from the design environment. Other companies 
did similar things with their products. Don't know if they changed that, 
but I don't trust "anything" that has the words "student edition" in 
them any more. lol
