Free C18 Microchip C complier = bad?

Microchip website says that their Student Edition version does not fully optimize the code after 60 days.

I am a student and use this C compiler, but will the world end after 60 days?

On a more serious note, what is the difference between the full version and the student edition.


(Somehow, free AVR-GCC draws my attention )

Thanks.

but will the world end after 60 days?

No, but it'll just run a little slower.
