Vray edu

[ArtemisX]

Sorry all, another one, i've looked about here and can't quite find definitive answers, so i'll bother you all.

Im looking at buying the educational verison of vray. I've read i will get updates for a period of time - is that just while Vray is v1.5 (ie for subsequent service packs only) or for any v1.x (future releases of v1.6, 1.7, 1.8, etc)?

Is there any news or indication that Vray v2.0 is to appear in the near future or is it just speculation at this point?

also if i buy Vray educational now and i finish unveristy course before my updates "expire" (ie if i get updates upto v2.0 arrives) will i still be able to get verison updates to my educational version?

in buying Vray now, once i finish uni and i no longer get updates (ie v2.0 has arrived) can i still use that last updated version of Vray forever or do i have to pay a yearly subscription?

I've been told by my vray retailer that i need to email a scan of my student ID, is this cross referenced with anything (ie will it be a problem using a credit card that has a different name to my ID - my wife's card for example?)?


Thanks in advance

I run an educational version of vray and maybe my answers will be enough for you.
You get all updated educational versions up to last update before 2.0 version (note EDUCATIONAL only)
You don't have permition to use in commercial purpose.
If you run an edu version, you are not able to use vrayrt as example (even demo), may be some more limitations that i don't know.
Once you purchased the EDU version, you will be able to run even if you are not a student anymore, BUT not in commercial purpose.

Rest of the questions refers only to retailer company.

I got a question too...
I would like to know if will be any discount if i jump from EDU version to ADV?
