We tried out the version with the personal edition
license (since ours is an open source project, we would fall into this
category) and were pleased with the software. We did notice, however,
that some functions do not seem to work, and were curious if
these are only available in the professional edition license (see
screenshot). Or are additional steps required to activate shortcuts in
the personal edition?
This would happen in Professional Edition too.
The "Customize Configuration" menu entries depicted in the screenshot
you've attached to your email are disabled ("grayed") because there is
no XMLmind XML Editor (XXE for short) configuration associated to the
document you have opened (<office:forms>).
Creating and associating a configuration to custom documents such as
yours is explained here:
Chapter 2. Writing a configuration file for XXE
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/config_file.html
Note that most of the work when writing a configuration for XXE consists
in 1) writing a CSS stylesheet to get rid of visible tags, 2) to a
lesser extend, understanding our documentation and putting it into use.
If shortcuts are only available in the professional edition, we would
consider buying two licenses/units for our project. Our research project
is being carried out at three higher education institutions, and the
project researchers are all involved in teaching at those institutions.
Would we qualify for a rebate for educational organizations, as stated
in the price list on your website?
It's simply half the normal price whatever the product, the license of
the quantity.
Perhaps you could give me further examples of or details about the
potential benefits of the professional license over against the personal
one, based on feedback from other research projects in the field of
humanities/philological text editions, which could further help us to
make an informed decision about the right XMLmind license.
Please compare column "XML Editor Professional Edition" to column "XML
Editor Personal Edition" in this table:

Unless you plan to develop an extensive configuration for XMLmind XML
Editor, including a facility to convert your custom documents to formats
such as HTML, EPUB, Web Help, RTF, ODT, DOCX, PDF, etc, I'm not sure you
would benefit anything from purchasing Professional Edition.
