The Student/Teacher license is only to learn SOFTIMAGE|XSI and make some cool stuff, but cannot be used for paid work.
Upon graduation, you will have the choice to keep your student version for non-commercial use, or upgrade it to a full production license. You'll receive a $495USD credit on the list price of the commercial license.

lo que me parece que significa que necesitas estar realizando un curso sobre XSI determinado, y que si no es así nanai de las chinas. Eso me parece. No se si sepuede adquirir una sin estar realizando ningún curso y poder aprender tu mismo desde casa, si tu economía no te lo permite.
