Apparently my language could have been better. In the #1 in my prior email,
I was referring to two separate "rip offs." There was some confusion with my
post, which I'll clarify.
Educational licenses are upgradeable. However, they are sometimes purchased
at very low prices and resold at higher prices as regular licenses. This is
the first ripoff
My sentence including "one of these..." should have stated "one of these
NFRs..." to clarify the point. NFRs are restricted from upgrade.
