NO, you do NOT lose any capabilities with the Student Version, whether 
the ordinary license or a year-long or semester-long license!

You do gain the minor annoyance of having, at the bottom of each printed 
page, the footnote "Printed by Mathematica for Students" displayed.  And 
  the only kind of direct technical support provided is for installation 
issues.
