Also consider a license like JetBrains old "personal purchase for professional use". I've carried Resharper around with me from employer to employer as my own "hammer" resulting in multiple new enterprise licenses when other people see me use it. I imagine this is exactly that kind of software. Scratching an itch the business doesn't yet realize is there.

I would also like this option. With JetBrains, as long as you yourself are paying for the license you can use the IDE at work. Your employer cannot reimburse you in any way for the license or else you have to get the full on commercial version.

This is something I'd like to be able to purchase to toy around with at work, but not necessarily something I would want to try to get my employer to buy for me, especially so I could move around with it (and use it for personal projects as well).

Maybe something cost-wise between the personal and commercial licenses?
