You could try to go the ceap route and register to a database class at your local University. Many of those have a "student deal" with Microsoft. Some offer the full Microsoft catalogue for free or at steep discount, like 90% while others wil offer a more limited product range, more geared towards the actual class you're supposed to take. Could be worth looking into. Otherwise there's nothing to do about it other than to man up, and either pay te license or convert the whole thing into something else.
