Educational discounts
I love your FX bundle a lot but it all depends on the price for my amateur usage (otherwise I must stick to inbuilt Ableton effects):
1) How to keep the license after I've finished studying, do I need to pay the missing 50% or do I just lose the right to purchase new products with lowered prices?
2) Is it allowed to distribute a track comercially when using EDU FabFilters DURING the period you visit a school?
3) Is it allowed to distribute a track comercially when using EDU FabFilters AFTER the period when you don't have a proof anymore?
I know reselling the product afterwards is not allowed, which of course is okay for the extreme price discount. Just want to get sure.
Thank you!

Hi Marc,
When the educational account expires, you can't buy plug-ins with the discount anymore, but you just keep the plug-ins that you already own.
There are no restrictions on making commercial tracks with the edu licenses.
Cheers,
I am still involved with education and would like to know if there is an upgrade for the entire bundle? FX bundle EDU purchased in 2021.
you can upgrade your licenses from your personal upgrade offer on your account page. If you're still eligible for an edu discount you can reapply here:

If I upgrade to Pro Q4 from Pro Q3 Edu, will it convert to regular Pro Q4 license?
If you're no longer eligible for EDU licenses, the upgrade will be a normal license. But you can't sell the combined license to someone else.
Cheers,
