The student version does not have a license manager as far as I know.
First of all, the student version is only available on PCs (Linux and
Windows) and Macintoshes (NO Workstation version). There is no dongle,
upgrade policy or any thing like that. They send you a CD-ROM that has all
the executables on it and you load the proper version on your machine. I
don't even remember whether I had to input a serial number. I have only
run the student version under Windows NT and it has been working fine.
