If a Microsoft Technet subscription is over your budget then try the "Microsoft Action Pak". You can take advantage of the Action Pak by signing up with the Microsoft Partner program (which you can sign-up for free) at this address:
https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40009570
The Action Pak Plus Subscription is $399 or the Action Pak Standard Subscription is $299. Pretty good deal for all of this software and you get multiple licenses in some cases and you have legitimate licenses for your lab at home or office! Subscription lasts for a whole year.
This is most of the software that you'll receive!
