I don't think 3dsmax would have been half as popular with over 250,000 licences sold if students hadn't used pirate copies at home and provided a skilled workforce after leaving college. When I was a student in england in the 90's there was no educational discount, and you didn't have lengthy access to workstations at university. The university itself could get an educational licence for about $2000 but a student couldn't.
Here in the US a student version of 3ds max is under $200
For under $400 you get 3ds max, Combustion 4 and a couple of other Autodesk apps. So there isn't much excuse for it now.
I'd have jumped all over that as a student in the UK. They had $4000 grants instead of loans back then. Do they do student discounts in the UK now?
