a license at 1000 is not a license that's purchasable for a normal consumer.. you may also need to sign a EA and this opens a can of worms. The point is that you normally can't obtain a enterprise license.

That's just not true. cf. the link I posted[0].
Anyone can buy a Visual Studio Developer Subscription (formerly "Technet Library" and "MSDN" packages) (USD$1199.00) without an enterprise agreement with Microsoft. I've used it for many years and will continue to do so.
And you don't need to renew it either (I'll generally do so every 5-7 years to get access to the latest stuff, but it's not necessary or required), especially since the software isn't "in the cloud" so you can have most of Microsoft's products (workstation and server) on local media.
But if you think I (and the Microsoft subscription page) don't know what I'm talking about, feel free to ignore me. It's no skin off my nose. In fact, it's about time for me to go and do (for the fourth or fifth time) what you say I can't do. Thanks for reminding me!
