What if you subscribe to technet (or whatever they call it now ? MSDN ?) ... don't you get one license to everything ?

The last time I paid for MSDN was 2011 or 2012 but I was able to download and use everything ...

Visual Studio (formerly MSDN) subscriptions come with purpose-specific (for software development and/or testing, depending on the subscription) licenses for lots of things (exactly what also depends on the tier, IIRC).

The usage constraints are mostly social/legal rather than technical, of course.

Visual Studio subscription is effectively $200/yr if you use Azure at all. It's $800/yr, but you get a $50/month Azure credit. It's not hard to use $50/month worth of Azure stuff.
