Generally when you leave a University, you give up your right to use University resources even most University IDs state on them that the ID is property of the University and must be returned to the University.

Perhaps you should look up the definition.The definition typically states something along the lines of 'taking without the owner's permission.' From the discussion and your own words it seems you are no longer at or affiliated with the University other than being an alumnus. Quote from: mstevens on December 19, 2012, 03:12:16 pm Uhmmmmm. At least your altium licence is perpetual if you stop paying. actually adobe is now also moving to a system where you lease per month. if a year from now you want to roll-up to the latest version they ding you for the missed time, just like photoshop dings you for the missing intermediate versions. but as i said, you don't have to pay if you are not interested. Altium continuously introduces new things.

in photoshop new things are only introduced in major upgrades. Every build includes new things as well as bugfixes.

you pay a small incremental fee to always have the latest version. Since they release updates very frequently it comes as a yearly subscription. the cost of going from PS-CS4 to PS-CS5 is half of going from PS-CS4 to PS-CS6. if a new version of photoshop is released you can buy the upgrade for a reduced fee. Software licence is perpetual but you don't get any updates. No you don't have to pay if you don't want to.
