Default ProTools 10 Student vers.

I want to get my daughter ProTools for college. She has an iMac i3 3.06GHz, and a ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB graphics card. Only ProTools 10.2 and under will run on her iMac according to the Knowledge base.

My questions is: Is the ProTools 10 Student edition version 10.0 or is it 10.3 and above?
If anyone has knowledge of this it would be greatly appreciated.

PS: This is my first post so sorry if I missed any protocol.

Student version is functionally identical to the regular version. Same installer, same updates, same capabilities, same specs. The only thing that's different is the license.

So she would have access to version 10.3.10 (and any future PT10 updates, as well)

what is the goal for your daughter to learn Pro Tools?
how much RAM is in the iMac and what OSX version is it running?

She has 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram. She is not tracking music but is primarily involved in short movies for her "Greek" organizations and would like to get into enhancing them.
She will need to use 10.7.4 or less according to the Knowledge base.

Macs can not install an older OS than what was on it when it shipped (that would be about a 4 years old iMac)

Personaly I would not try and run Pro Tools on an i3 CPU epically with video you need an i7 or Xenon CPU
