Enterprise Manager with developer kit

Is anyone aware if we are allowed to purchase the
Enterprise Manager that comes with the developer kit and
then use it as a graphical management tool for the MSDE
version of SQL?
Microsoft list that MSDE does not come with a graphical
management tool, I don't want to break licenses.

p
Indeed is it a graphical management tool?
You are not allow to purchase by itself. You have to purchase any of the other versions of SQL Server (Personal edition is $50 I think) in order to get the Enterprise Manager.
But then you are not licensed to redistribute it.

redistribution rights, you are not allowed to buy this version and manage
production databases with it. It is for development and testing only.
I don't think you can buy Personal Edition except that it comes with retail
versions.

edition, unless we can get by without the graphical
interface. Thanks
