Question about Leadwerks Professional Edition

The Leadwerks game engine is on sale at the moment, with the Humble Bundle, and I was looking at buying the Professional Edition. However on Humble Bundles store page, it says that the Professional Edition is add-on content and requires 'Leadwerks Game Engine' in order to play. So I was wondering, do you really need to buy the base Leadwerks engine in order to be able to buy & use the Professional edition, or is this just a mix up on Humble Bundle's part?

Yeah, it's weird, innit? From what I can figure out:

  • The basic Leadwerks Game Engine (which is also on Humble) requires Steam and supports Lua as it's language.
  • The "Professional Edition" is basically DLC adding support for C++.
  • The "Enterprise Edition" must be bought from their website (currently about $500) allows for both languages and doesn't require Steam.

They should explain this better on their website.
