As I understand it, LabVIEW 2020 Community Edition is basically identical to LabVIEW 2020 Professional, with the following restrictions:

• There is a different, time-limited (one year) license for this software (which is expected to be renewable).
• There is a restriction on what you can do with this licensed version of LabVIEW, including not using it for Academic purposes, R&D, etc. -- it is designed for "home and hobby" uses (my terminology, not necessarily NI's).
• Not all of the Drivers, Modules, and Toolkits are necessarily available with this license.

I have successfully downloaded and installed LabVIEW 2020 Community Edition on a VM (it's the only version of LabVIEW on this system).  However, I've been too busy with a LabVIEW Project at work (where my colleagues and I are using LabVIEW 2019) to "play" with the Community Edition, so I don't remember (other than the difference in activating the Software) how to "recognize" this Edition from the "normal" LabVIEW release.  Given the need to keep "work" and "play" separated, I'll probably stick with using Community Edition on its own "PC".
