This exactly. I am not asking my employer to spend so much money on something I am not using for free in my free time.

Subscriptions are also tricky to "purchase(?)" at some places.

I'm pretty sure I'm not actually allowed to charge them to a grant.

I tried buying a student discount subscription in my country and I could never finish the process.

I then contacted two local partners and none of them allowed me to buy the license as a student. One said that the student discount did not exist, and the other one siad thst my University had to buy it for me.
