I couldn't find a version of this that would work in a VM. The few I tried were "preactivated" and then complained about hardware changes when I tried to install in a VM.
No I'm not asking people to find me a working release. I'm just complaining that I just can't be assed mucking around with unlicensed installations.

Yeah I bought some keys a while back.
It never seems to be as easy as "type in this key". They get linked to my Microsoft account or some nonsense.
