The University I was studying under had purchased a volume license for Microsoft Imagine that allowed students like me to get access to a free Product Key of Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise, etc. Now that I have left my institution I am curious about the license limitations. Am I still entitled to the Product Key I received and are there any limitations applied to it such as am I allowed to use the VS Enterprise license key for personal business use (eg: Just me using VS Enterprise but for my work)?

I have looked through the Visual Studio 2018 License agreements inside but there was no reference to what happens. I found a post discussing the License for Windows 10 Education which was stated Andre Da Costa that the key is a full license. I also found a question asking if using Visual Studio Pro/Enterprise is a company is allowed on a user's license which it seems to be okay.

So to reconstruct my question; I have a license for VS 19 Enterprise that I use personally and now that I have taken a position at a workplace that does not have VS Licenses I am wondering if it is allowed in the License for me to use my own copy of VS 19 within the workplace professionally. I have asked the IT Dept in my workplace and they have stated If it is allowed in the licensing terms then I may my license.

With the 3 references above I believe that I am allowed but I would like an official word on this so I can pass the message on.

Thanks,
Callum.
