I was under the impression that the learning edition was a free for all. I believe that it used to be named the standard. The EDUCATIONAL edition is EXACTLY the same as the Professional Edition and Costs $AU120-$AU150. It has no restrictions on distribution as does the learning. The educational edition is for students only though. So ppl either get stuck with the learning/(Std) or buy the Pro.
