A question about upgrades
I presently own a copy of Final Cut Pro that I purchased and registered.
My employer, an educational institution, has a policy where they want to buy the educational version of products on your behalf.
The educational version of Final Cut Studio costss $695 and does not allow you to upgrade. If I upgraded my Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Studio, it would cost exactly the same, and allow me to upgrade.
If I save my serial number of Final Cut Pro, would I be able to upgrade using the old serial number, even if the educational version was presently installed on my machine?
Or should I simply rename the folder containing my old Final Cut HD so that I can use it to qualify for the upgrade?
Or am I really better off begging my educational friends to let me buy the upgrade instead of the educational version? (I know I am in one respect because upgrading to the next Final Cut Studio will presumably cost $699 from Final Cut but $499 from my upgraded Studio).
Are there any reprecussions of this I haven’t thought of?
Many thanks.

you can also upgrade from an educational version.

Sorry Rainer, but you are mistaken. The serial numbers from the Educational versions will not work with the upgrade. It won’t accept them.
