At risk of getting my whip dirty as I keep flogging that dead horse...
You may as well just pirate it, if you're going to do that.

Of course, that's assuming that the "current student license"
requirement Bruce imposed is actually a fact. When I acquired my WinXP
license under the Waikato Uni CS MSDNAA license, I asked about this
and was told that these licenses exist in perpetuity - they do not
expire when you stop being a student.   It would pay to check.

I was of the same understanding. However, I will endeavour to clarify the licensing requirements of my current license. If I must get a new license then that is what I will have to do. It's par for the course in the current environment.

However, If I don't have to fork out hundreds of dollars on a new license and can get an alternative legitimately for cheaper then I will use whatever option is most applicable.

Thanks for your comments.
