Any time limitation on that version Jerry?

Not that I know of.  Of course, if  you want to upgrade you will have
to prove you are still eligible for the student discount.  I think
they are betting that if you really get good with the program it will
have enough value for you that you will buy retail version
eventually.  It is a very good deal.   BTW, you can download any of
their applications and take it for a free test drive for two weeks.
