The difference.
The difference between the regular edition and the student edition is about $1,100.00. Technically, you can only use the student edition as a student. For other use, such as commercial use, you are "required" to use the regularly priced one at about $1,500.00 (at Amazon's low price). If you are also a student you might be able to use it legally, but I would check it out carefully in the fine print as to whether (even then) you can use it for a profit seeking web site.
While a lot of people fudge on this (other words might be lie, cheat, or steal) I wouldn't recommend it. A lot of people illegally downloaded music at will until the crackdown not long ago and I noticed in the news a few days ago that one person's conviction for that "crime" which is quite similar was just upheld by the Supreme Court. Jammie Thomas, a Native American single mother of four from my state here in Minnesota, was ordered to pay $222,000 for songs she downloaded from the Internet. Evidently the court thinks that is a fair judgment.
Sometimes being able to sleep at night is worth more than saving a few bucks, or even quite a few.
