Yes. Anyone can buy from the education store, but if they ask you for proof that you're qualified for the discount then you're screwed if you don't qualify. And they don't always ask, either.

I've never been asked for student proof. That said for software it's still cheaper to buy through the U of M bookstore.

Congratulations on the savings.
