I've now left uni so am not officially a student. How do microsoft validate
if i am still a student. Anyone know?

If you're intending to do this then you have no legal right to use a
student license which IMHO would be a waste of money. If you want it
unlicensed then just get a pirate for a fraction of the price, if you
need a proper licensed copy then get one you're entitled to. I.e. the
full price version.

Seconded.
