Is this common?

You need to have a talk with your school administration. If in fact this is what the school decided it is nothing less than theft, pure and simple.
The license agreement is for the team and team members to use to develop animations for uses related to the team, on any computer available to them, including home computers.
The license agreement specifically prohibits installing the software for school instructional use. In order for the school to use Autodesk products they will have to execute a purchase agreement with Autodesk for any and all licenses they install, apart from any licenses that is used in robotics.
The administrations actions are potentially a serious breach of trust as it regards Autodesk and the FIRST community.
Please do what you can to correct this, or Autodesk will likely correct it for them.
