It's not only through retail. It's a piece of software that sits on your machine. I used it when I got my G5 (which I bought through the education store).
Columbia actually gets special discounts sometimes (on top of regular education pricing, which you qualify for as a Columbia employee). I can forward you the emails they (still) send me if you'd like.
