Hi Jennifer,

About these Student License prizes..  Are they limited to one year?  Also, since I already own commercial license of 6.0 ADV, could I pass my activation card onto someone else (non student/educator) to use for learning/non-commercial work?

Hi,

got my XSI academic! It rocks!
I try to download “The Artist’s guide to XSI”, entered my username and password, then reg. code – and all i get is empty page!
Does academic license allow me to download this training at all?

Thanks!
