It's your choice, but I would point out that he's talking about all versions, not licences. You can upgrade from LR3 student to LR5 student, or from LR3 full to LR5 full. Each upgrade path has the same software, but a different licence.
As I say, it's your choice
You are incorrect.
Upgrade from an Lr 3 student license to Lr 5 is no problem and the same cost and procedure as any upgrade.
Student pricing is available on original purchases only and there are no student upgrades.
