Obtain Microsoft SCCM & SCOM for training/evaluation purposes
I'm interested in learning how to deploy and use Windows System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and System Center Operations Manager (SCOM).
I would like to obtain this software that I will use only in my home personal training environment.
What options does Microsoft have for licensing or providing this software for training purposes?
I am a Microsoft Certified Professional and in order to learn how to use and support this software, I need to actually deploy the software in my personal networking environment at home.
Or where can I purchase this software from for a reasonable price?

Why not just join the technical preview program for SCCM? By the time a new build comes out you can upgrade to the latest build and get around the expiration date?
You'll also need a copy of SQL Server to install SCCM and of course a copy of Windows Server.
I'm now interested in what options I might have to permanently license the software at a reasonable price.
As I have mentioned I will only be using this software for training purposes in a non-production and non-business environment.
What kind of options are available?
