you will probably not be able to register and you would be breaking Steinys EULA. No support, and most all EULA concerning EDU software states that you are not allowed to use the edu software for professional use.... ie getting paid.
This is exactly what I want to know.
From what I've read elsewhere, none of that is actually true and at no point am I doing anything ilegal or anything which breaks steinberg's EULA.

This is what I want clarifed as I don't want to run the risk of breaking the EULA and be able to get full support for the product.

I'm not quite with you on the moral issue. We live in a capitalist society where companies can offer people products at any price they think people will buy them at.
Steinberg aren't losing out here. They've sold the product already.
And I'm sure they would much rather have me as a long term customer, who could be paying for upgrades (at full price) long into the future, instead of me buying Logic or ProTools.
