Ok so i have just discovered (the hard way) that you can only activate DreamSpark software once. Rubbish 
.
But since I'm willing to put some money into getting my mini learning environment up and running, I'm looking at getting a "TechNet" subscription, £300, and i can pretty much have all the MS software I want, so long as its not using in production!
So is this correct, I would like to know the Caveats.
The MS site says:
"Access the full evaluation versions of over 200 Microsoft products, with no time limits"
It even has testimonials: “I can access unrestricted copies of just about any Microsoft product instantly.”
Now forgive me for being skeptical, but I cant help but think that there will be a major caveat somewhere, I can't believe I can get the Sub and just setup and evaluation environment and play about to my hearts content?
If anybody knows more it would be great. Thanks!

What is the general nature of the terms of the TechNet Plus Subscription End User License Agreement?
The subscription terms vary based on your subscription level and license type. Each subscription license type entitles only the designated subscriber to use evaluation software, support incidents and access the TechNet Benefits Portal – no other users are entitled to use these resources. A single-server subscription allows a workgroup to share the technical information library content only with others in their organization. For full details on use rights, see the [URL="http://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/cc294422.aspx"]TechNet Plus License Terms[/URL].
Can I use evaluation software received in my TechNet Plus subscription at home?
The license grants installation and use rights to one user only, for evaluation purposes, on any of the user’s devices, this may include devices at home. Keep in mind that you may use the evaluation software only to evaluate it. You may not use it in a live operating environment, a staging environment, or with data that has not been sufficiently backed up. You may not use the evaluation software for software development or in an application development environment.Now forgive me for being skeptical, but I cant help but think that there will be a major caveat somewhere, I can't believe I can get the Sub and just setup and evaluation environment and play about to my hearts content?
