Can I just subscribe for one billing cycle, download and install everything I need, and then cancel my subscription? Read the fine print very carefully. As far as I know, that gives you access to the installers, but does not give you a "production" license. A "production" license is needed to actually "use" the OS for, you know, anything other than "testing something on it".
That still requires a separate agreement from Microsoft. You'll have to talk to them. The version I have doesn't have downloads for older windows versions, pretty sure a couple of years ago you got Windows 9x but these days it's just MS-DOS 6.
InterLinked If you subscribe to the correct version then you have a perpetual licence that continues after the subscription ends. You just don't get a licence to any new software released after that.
The subscription also gives you "downgrade rights" and lets you use older versions of software that's included in your subscription, including older versions no longer available for download. You'd you need to obtain the media yourself somehow.
As Euro Micelli noted the licence for the licence is only for development and testing using the operating systems included. Downgrade rights, btw, are also commonly included if you buy any OS license under a volume license program like "open license" which you are IIRC applicable for if you initially buy at least 5 products - and luckily, most software resellers who have OL products will have some low priced, obsolete items in their catalog to fill the other 4 slots ; — rackandboneman.

Yes, you could accomplish some of this by digging around the TechBench site, but using this clever little utility is quicker and saves a lot of hassle. Plus, for some products, like Windows 8. Microsoft also provides other software via the TechNet Evaluation Center. For example, you could download a trial version of Windows Server R2 and enter a legitimate product key to get the full version. You will need to sign in with a Microsoft account before downloading.
