Sorry for all these threads.. another question about Sonar: Academic editions

[Morgan C]

As you might have seen in my other thread I'm looking for Sonar 7 Studio Edition for cheap...

I've just found Sonar 7 Producer Edition, Academic version, on eBay for only $50US. Usually 'academic versions' are sold at a cheaper price to students or teachers (I'm neither), but this seems to be the normal version, normal price, plus an extra CD of how to use/teach Sonar, according to http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2007/10/16/aesnyc07-cakewalk-releases-sonar-7-academic-editions/

I am a little wary of it being so cheap (although being eBay it could still go up a lot), and have sent a msg asking whether it is the full version or just the extra Academic CD.

Just making sure that I don't get caught out - the Academic version is available to EVERYONE, and includes EVERYTHING in the normal version, with extras, yes?

Maybe it's that cheap 'cause the new version (Sonar 8) is now available.

Found this on another website.

Cakewalk Sonar 7 Producer Academic Software is identical to the regular commercial version. Buyer must be a student, a teacher, or affiliated with church, school, college, none-profit organization. Student id or similar id is required for the purchase.

I don't want to run into any legal issues here..

-Does this still apply if I'm buying it 2nd hand, off eBay?
-I'm entering uni next year (in the holiday between high school and uni), but not to study audio, do I still qualify as a student (if the restrictions do still apply buying 2nd hand)?

edit: I've posted this on the Cakewalk forums, as I realise you guys are not officials on the topic.
