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. See: www.wolfram.com/products/student/mathforstudents/qa.html#difference support.wolfram.com/studentmathematica/reference/differences.html Jmbatista at aol.com wrote: > > The student version may be a cost effective solution, but don't you also > loose some capabilities with this approach? > J.
