No, you haven't :)

The "Community" version, as far as I am aware, only really has one 
signal difference from the Commercial version:

you cannot code protect stacks with it; so both stacks and standalones 
made with it can be cracked open by anybody who wants to,
to look at, twiddle with, or pinch the code.

However; when it comes down to the fine points, Richard Gaskin is your man.
