There is an academic version of Final Cut Studio at my local book center, required my student i.d, and it cost $519.00 + tax. As far as I can see, everything seems to be in it, but I dont have a full price version of it to compare. hope this helps .

Yes, they are identical. Your academic serial number makes the startup screen say academic License or something of that nature, but then it's identical there on out.

Legally, no.

 

Like most things though, it's a matter of degree. If you start a post-production company to edit and master DVDs you'd best invest in the full version as you could lose a lot of cash if you got caught trying to save a measly $500.

 

If you're just starting out and learning the ropes then it's not likely that someone will call you on it. Are you out of school and not eligible yourself? You also don't have to be in college to qualify, any school counts, even elementary for that matter.

no im not out of school im a sophmore in highschool. is it really for anyone cuz if you go to their website it only shows the colleges no highe schools or elementary schools unless your an employee.

Hmm, maybe I'm mistaken. Either way, you are probably fine.

I you are k thru G12, university, postgrad, etc., you can buy it.

The software and manuals are identical in all respects to the full version. The About screen does not say anything academic license. My boxed set (weighs 8 kg!) looks identical to the no-academic versions in the stores. I haven't read the mass of small print in the license agreement about using it to make money after you graduate, etc., but I think any lawyer would have a very hard time enforcing that condition (if it exists) in court to say the least.
