Suse 9.3 Academic Version


Does anyone know what the difference (if any) is between Suse 9.3 Pro and Suse 9.3 Pro Academic version? I'm guessing it's just how the license is structured. But before I buy the academic version, I just want to make sure that it's not missing any programs or is limited in any way.

Maybe a quick email to suse/novell will get your question answered quicker and more accurately.

I think the difference is in pricing. If you can prove you are a student, you are entitled to get the academic version cheaper. But to be sure, you better do as reddazz suggested

reddazz, thanks for your advice. I emailed Novell's support people and this is the response I got:

"Thank you for your interest in Novell products. the full version and the student versions are the exact same program. The student version is just priced so students may afford it."

Hopefully this will help in case someone has the same question in the future.
