Question: Can Academic Software be Upgraded?

Answer: I doubt that's true. Software publishers offer academic pricing in order to get students started with their software, with the assumption that they'll continue to upgrade it after they begin working in the real world. It's possible there are some rare exceptions to this. The software End User License Agreement (EULA) should tell you for sure.
