The student version dosen't have a watermark at all, whoever told you that dosen't know what there on about, the watermark is only on the PLE.

The Student version restricts you to only using it for portfolio building not commercial use.

I thought there used to be a way back in the alias day they did convert your PLE files to regular Maya files for one time when you bought the software.

You can buy a studentlicense since your ten, this shouldn't be a problem i think.
and the 14 month license doesn't have a watermark

I think they used to ofer a one time conversion of your PLE files to regular ones when you bought a copy of Maya.

This is the website i'm thinking of getting it from.

If you look at license type it says in brackets contains educational watermark.
I even emailed them (well my Dad did) and they said it had had an educational water as well again.
Is this right? user added image

I work at a company which sells all manner of software from maya to photoshop, trust me Studentlicenses don't have a watermark and if the company persist that it has, i would look for another company that sells software because they probably want to sell you a PLE or just don't want to sell studentlicenses.
Studentlicense costs around E140(don't know how much this is in GBP)
