Try to get a commercial license.  Buy it from someone.  If someone sells 
it to you, and you bought it in good faith, I don't see any legal 
problems.  If you want to be really careful and are aware that at some 
point in the dim and distance past there was a rumour of a $300 transfer 
fee, contact HPE and ask them how to pay it.
