Licensing for a security research enviroment

Question
-
Hi all,
So I have started to take up the topic information security research professionally, (by professionally I mean a system that is professional in design it won’t be used for work/profit etc.).
So basically I want to set up bunch of VM’s with different Windows operating systems and patch levels, (and maybe some other software like word/outlook etc. in the future)
So to my question is the licensing part, where or how can I get licenses to for environment like this, please keep in mind that this is a non-profit project so money is an issue.
I did think of using trials, or IEtest vm’s but they require a bit of work in the long run, and I am not sure its legal.
Thanks in advance
