They said in the post that they want to make premium features free for education.

Also, license you bought will stay indefinitely. You can use the program you currently have. Maybe some new features won't be available, but as a non-frequent user that should be fine :).

If premium features are free for educators, I need to look into how that system works.

I’m happy to keep my V2 license, but I guarantee V2 will be shorter lived than V1 was now that a company was acquired and costs need to be recuperated.
