Since when for the free edition the number of protected devices is unlimited?
Does someone found a restriction in the license that disallow the use the free edition in an education context?

Former with the restricted number of protected devices the number of devices from the pupils are fast reached and the education reduction was not that great that a school was able to pay the price (in Germany).

Juridically, if we speak of pirated software, we are talking sense. It's illegal to use pirated software, i.e. software whose activation mechanism has been altered.

But nobody knows if an EULA violation by a consumer is juridically meaningful. It has not been tested in court, with the exception of GPL compliance, and GPL compliance is restricted to software makers.

My concern is not using pirated software. I want to use the (free) software legal.
My big concern is that the conditions of legal use are not clearly stated.

Meanwhile I asked a representative (Dave) from Sunny Valley Networks and he wrote me hat the free software is indented to use in a non-commercial context. In Germany usually the public schools are non-commercial, so I think that I am fine and the free software is legal to use in school, but a stale aftertaste is still there.

Talking about education - Character analysis is a fundamental aspect of studying literature, film, or any narrative medium. It requires you to look beyond surface-level traits and explore the complexities of a character's personality, motivations, and development throughout the story. This type of analysis helps you gain a deeper understanding of the themes and messages the author or creator is trying to convey.

To begin a character analysis, focus on identifying key aspects of the character's traits—whether they are heroic, flawed, or complex—and how these traits influence their actions and relationships with others. Analyzing how the character changes over time, and what drives those changes, can reveal deeper insights into the overall narrative.

If you're looking for more guidance on how to craft a thorough character analysis, this https://writemycustomessay.com/blog/general/character-analysis blog post offers detailed advice on how to approach the process and structure your analysis effectively.

Ultimately, mastering character analysis not only enhances your understanding of the work but also improves your critical thinking and writing skills, which are essential for academic success.
The free edition of the software likely underwent updates recently that expanded its capabilities, including removing the previous device limitations. As for using it in an educational context, generally, most free editions come with specific restrictions that may limit commercial use, but educational use is often allowed. However, it's important to check the exact terms and conditions as they can vary.

It's still around 100 users, and when I contacted them, they didn't have a problem with me using the free version in my non-profit public school.

That said, there are some big discounts for education, and some nice features in the paid version and I keep trying to get that money in my budget because I want the paid features (some of them).

it also works well so I want to support their continued work, look at all the free OPNsense documents that they have on their website.
