If you click on 'View Educational Licences' you can request an extension, upgrade the software, or download current or previous versions of Design Suite. 

Educational licences are valid based on graduation date, up to one year, requiring re-verification each year. An email notification is sent out prior to the licence’s expiration date, encouraging the request for an extension via the Customer Portal.
