It is the full program, you can do a fresh install from the update and it works fine, you just don't get the additional content. It goes through the authorisation/registration process.
Only problem I have seen is a bug that leaves the Sampling Bit Depth preference blank when installing from the update, or possibly from certain versions of the update, rather than setting it to 24 or 16, then it does not save new samples that you record into it.

I brought a studio sold it and brought a ren when I connected the ren the software I had already installed for the studio knew that it wasn't the controller I unlocked it with
The installation DVD is not registered to any particular Renaissance or Studio, it is exactly the same DVD supplied with all MPC controllers.
The authorisation/registration process takes place over the internet, when you first start MPC Software, it connects to an Akai server for the authorisation process, it is nothing to do with anything on the installation DVD, it does the same thing if you install from the downloadable update.
