Well sure enough, I had to dig around for it - it also seems the layout option I had would not show the specific folders you were getting but when I reset the layout to "Classic" I could find it.  That's quite cool :)  So Global Illumination/Area Lights ARE included in the free version after all, quite surprising (and pleasing).  I'll be damned if I can figure out how to get a render out of them though, I will spend a little time with the tutorial info:
