Greetings Luis!

Your short courses sound like they will be a lot of fun - what a great thing to 
do for your students! There should be no problem having your students register 
with us to get the IDV :-) The only recommendation I would have is to please 
feel free to use some of our documentation

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/toc.html#index.html

and training materials

Also, if you have any feedback regarding the use of the IDV once your courses 
are complete, we'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks for contacting us, and best wishes!
