MSDN has historically offered a subscription package whereby developers have access and licenses to use nearly all Microsoft software that has ever been released to the public.

Microsoft's MSDN license agreement makes a specific exception for Microsoft Office, allowing the subscription holder to personally use it for business purposes without needing a separate license — but only with the " MSDN Premium Subscription " and even so only " directly related to the design, development and test and / or documentation of software projects " as stated in the MSDN licensing FAQ.
