3-Apr-2007 Mr C Salter: Under the licensing conditions of this product, is the product to be sold to educational institutions only, or can teachers purchase legitimately? I only ask as I am a teacher and require more applications than available within the Student and teacher edition of the program. Thanks in advance

Easycom: This Retail edition is available for purchase by teachers or students as well as institutions.

Easycom: No.

2-Dec-2007 np: Iam interested to know how the software restricts usage to non academic purposes? When submtting work, I wont want the documentation to be any different than I would expect from any other version. Can I still expect the same standard of documentation from this version?
