Steam Just opened up their software section and are selling programs such as 3D Coat right through Steam!

The professional one is the only one you can use commercially.
"By purchasing this license you receive the rights to use 3D-Coat commercially."
"This program is unavailable at this time"
"The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request"
(p.s. Hi Polycount!)
As far as steam goes yeah, but there might be a limit if theres additional DRM to go with it, they have that issue with GFWL
already does that. UDK should show up in your tools - all you have to do is install it into steam and viola! the only way i know to see your hours is to add it to your favorites and then go to the fav list in the library. I've got 23 since i moved it to steam. not impressive.
There is info about licenses here

There's a comment in that thread that links back to this thread!?
I didn't find much of that particularly helpful... I feel like I need to read it all twice to "get it". Maybe I'm being stupid but I see the OP basically asking "I own an educational license, how do I upgrade to pro through steam without paying the full pro amount? (ie, paying the upgrade cost instead)" and the answers being like "version 4 is coming soon and the cost to upgrade to it will be "X" amount".
Am I being a retard? Did OP's question actually get answered?
Edit
Not OP, but you know what I mean.
Limitation of Education version:
1) no commercial usage
2) textures size to export is limited to 2048x2048
3) limited to 7 layers
Upgrading to v4 is free if you buy 3D Coat in or after October.
Steam sells both the educational and the commercial version, by the by:

The question I haven't seen an answer to, or have missed... is:
If you already own the educational version, and want the commercial version (through steam)... how do you go about that?
On the 3d coat website, the cost from educational to commercial is 250$, which basically means you aren't paying what you've already paid for the educational license - again.
Or, to put it another way... let's say you buy the educational version on steam now, and then decide to upgrade to the commercial license. Where is the option to say "I own the educational one, don't charge me the full amount for the pro version"?
Perhaps that's something that's done via the 3d coat website after the purchase is made, but it's still something I'd like to know about before hand. Y'know?
When trying to buy the commercial version though, it still remains at full price when I would expect it to be reduced. Just for the record, I don't wish to purchase the commercial version yet, but I will likely want to in the future if I decide to take this to work with me. I'm just poking around at the moment.
Obviously I don't want to end up paying the full whack in the future and having both an educational AND a commercial license, that would be uber stupid.
Also, halp:
Crashed 3DC (the first of many) (1/100)
decisions?
Last time I installed UDK through steam all it did was install a text file reading this:
Did they actually sort that out now?
