Sounds like others have identified this as a scam. But even if it's not, so 
what?

Variable pricing is the way of the world now. Certainly for software. I used to 
get pissed off by the special educational price. At the time I was scraping out 
a meager living as an opera singer, and I didn't see why I should have to pay 
more for Finale than college students who had plenty more disposable income 
than I did. But when I complained about it here, others pointed out to me it 
has nothing to do with fairness. The software company can set their prices 
however they like, and if they have marketing reasons to want to try to flood a 
certain market that's their right.

Same idea for airline tickets, or cheap people who buy standing-room tickets 
and then sneak down into an empty seat at intermission.

I say get over it. If you don't like the price that's offered to you, just 
don't buy it.
