I would think that since we own a copy from the previous 5 years, we should be allowed to have 5 people using it at the same time, right? (ie, if it were still running with the dongles, we would have 5 dongles by now).
So what would I have to do to get 3DSM running on several machines in the next week or so, to allow the students to practice with the software? Are we stuck with using the demo version for a month?
what would we do after the kickoff then, when we will need more that one copy of Rev 6?

Since our team has been doing animation for a few years, we have multiple copies of 4 and 5, but the thing is you have to buy a multi-user lisence to have multiple copies of Max on computers. This can become expensive... I think Discreet and Autodesk need to provide more than one lisence each year because it's just not feasible to have one person doing an animation. The demo version would probably be the best way to go at the moment for getting 3DS Max up on many machines to get practice in, and while you have the month buy some multi user lisences.. or just wait till kickoff to do that.
In fact, I would definately wait till the kickoff the buy the multiuser lisences. Just wait till 6 comes out and buy it for that, and use the demo copies at the moment.. that's my suggestion. Hope it helps.
