 Well, be warned that this is a student copy, NOT the commercial version.
There are restrictions in this student copy, unlike the R4 student.
For one, the interface screen is a bright green color with student 
clearly marked on it, also NO network rendering, and the rendering engine
has been degraded to only 32bit insted of the 64bit.  There are a few 
other things, you can call Kinetix, or visit the web site ktx.com.
