Educational licences are eligible for discounted update pricing, just the same as the regular version. Scrivener 2 users who purchased using the educational discount have been updating to Scrivener 3 at the $25 update price just the same as regular licence holders, and the same will be true in the future (not that I’m even thinking about Scrivener 4 yet!). The only difference is with cross-grades, as mentioned up-thread. Other than that one minor difference, the only difference between the educational and regular licences are the price.
Katherine, can you please point me to where a different impression is given? We’ll need to fix that.
asd937 - many thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you are finding value in Scrivener and Scapple, and welcome to the forums!
All the best,
Keith
