Hi Mir,

AFAIK, anything you obtained under your college license would only remain valid whilst you had an ongoing relationship with the college. I don't know whether or how MS tracks that, though. From the startup message you describe, it seems some form of tracking applies, based on whether you have connected to the college server.

Accordingly, it appears you're now required to purchase a licence for your own use.
