Nari, I actually called Lego Education about buying additional licenses because I didn't know about the FIRST policy, and the gentleman I got on the phone simply asked if I'd bought the software through FIRST. When I said yes, he said we could download it to all the kids' computers. I pointed out that it didn't say so in any of the license documentation that came with the software and he just replied: "Yeah, I know..." I wasn't smart enough to ask about potential update problems but that is the response we got.
