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. YAY well done M$
