The software we are using is Freeware! Since the Atmel Studio also offers a simulator (running in simulator mode as soon as no device is connected) you can experiment with it at home. You need WINAVR and the AVR studio 4. A local copy of the WIN AVR Studio used in the lab course can be found here. Slides with a detailed step by step description of the design flow using WINAVR along with the AVR Studio can be found here (501kB). A short overview can be found here (10kB). More information can be found on atmel.com and in the according sections of Falk Salewski's Link List.
