    $500/yr is not that much.

    people aren’t usually paying for these licenses, their employers are.

      When was the last time you were a student?

      Also, there is a reason you want students to use your product before hit the work place, as they bring the interest in the product.

          You make me remember a dude when I was a student who berated others who had cash problems (we all had the same state loans), turns out his parents funneled him 7.000SKR every month on top of what we all got.

      people aren’t usually paying for these licenses, their employers are.

      For the average employee yes, but this disadvantages entrepreneurs, unemployed people who want to develop their skills, independent researchers, etc.

      You have a point here. It’s not so much the employees are choosing the software. Employers are telling the Employees which software they have invested in.
