Dear Ajeesh,
Answers to most of your questions are given on amibroker website. So do visit their site to know the same and more about the software.
Difference between their standard and professional version is given at
http://www.amibroker.com/order.php in tabular format at the end of the page.
Answer to your 2nd question is yes.
You can convert standard to professional version by paying the difference as described on the same page as mentioned above.
I am not aware of seller of 2nd hand Amibroker nor the implications of buying the same from support, licencing point of view. FYI, it costs around Rs.8000/- in indian rupees for their latest 5.00.1 standard version which according to me is the best deal for the rich features it provides.
If you are keen on saving money on software, why don't you use Fibotrader, which is free ? There are already many threads giving information about this as well as other free charting softwares in 'software section'. You may find a current running thread by Soumya at
http://www.traderji.com/software/6575-fibotrader-excellent-free-ta-software.html very useful from this point of view.
Hope this helps.
Abhay
