Your license tier is determined by your company's total annual revenue. You must purchase the tier that matches it: Freelancer under $100k, Studio $100k–$1M, Enterprise over $1M. Using a lower tier than your revenue requires is a breach of licence.
An NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) is recommended for the best, fastest experience, but is not required — LightMonkey also runs on CPU.
