No, you will have the either buy the Android standard or Pro License to publish to the Android.

However you can still develop your game idea, then later on down the line buy the license and add in Android specific API's.

So basically dupe the creators out of the license fee? No, in the terms and conditions of the trial I'm pretty sure it mentions no commercial usage. Its only $400 and if your serious about your idea you'd consider paying for it.

I'm a student too ;) Basically no engine out there will let you publish for free (Unity3D is, in my opinion one of the best engines out there) I'd suggest making your game for the PC / web first, when you find support for it and even people willing to buy it. Get the Android licence. Chances are once you've started to develop your game you'll notice how easy it is to port to android later on. Good luck!

Yeah, being a student is a bitc* right? :)

Well to be fair, they gave you the PC version for free, which can be used later to port to Android. The only difference is you cant directly publish to the Android phone until you get the license. No big deal :D
