  The form to register for the free education version rejects my email address--presumably because it does not end with ".edu" but rather with the standard Japanese university ending of ".ac.jp"

  Unless the purpose is to restrict users to those in the United States or other countries that follow the ".edu" rule, this is unfair.

  The script is meant to treat .ac.jp the same way it treats .edu, so your experience is not at all what we intend. Could you post the exact message you get when you apply?

  Thanks,

  My error, apparently. The registration page worked fine this time. Thank you for your prompt reply.

  It worked fine this time. My mistake, it seems. Thank you.

  Does your email address have a single-character segment, like the "x" in user@x.myschool.ac.jp? The script was mistakenly rejecting such addresses, but that bug has now been fixed.

  Thanks,

  Yes, my email address does have a single-character segment as you guessed. It comes between the @ mark and my university name, and stands for my department. Many thanks for changing the program.
