Can also get it free with a Visual Studio subscription, that's where I got mine.

  Just checked VS subscription page and didn't find it, maybe it's kinda hidden? I'm chatting with a sales representative regarding this.

    The Visual Studio web site is impossible to decode. I think this is the page: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/#software-and-downloads?cat=visual-studio-enterprise-subscription-with-github-enterprise https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/#software-a... Basically they give you every version of Windows so you can test your code. So 10 LTSC is in there. I run it in my VMs because it uses so little memory and CPU compared to the regular one. I don't know which flavor of subscription you need to get it. I got my sub free as an MVP.

      Snooped around and looks like the only option is to purchase VS Enterprise + Github Enterprise (professional versions don't work). This is definitely going to be pricy. I guess if my company has enterprise license I might be able to take advantage of that...

        I just logged in to check mine sub and it does say Visual Studio Enterprise :(

But IIRC you need an active directory domain, so a server license to run this all off of.

  >But IIRC you need an active directory domain No? I installed it in a VM just fine without it. During initial setup there's a "domain join" option, but all that does is create a local account.

Apparently you can pad the 5 license minimum with cheap licenses, so it's not like you need to fork over $1000+ to get started. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-instructions-for-purchasing-a-windows-10-ltsc-license https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-inst...

It's also available on certain sites. Although I haven't figured out how to ...install the latest version, it seems more complex than the one before.
