visual studio.net 2005 license question?

I am working at a company where I am the only .net programmer. I want to be
able to test sql server 2000 t-sql commands using Visual Studio.net 2005
professional version.
I have read articles from Microsoft saying that you should not test on a
production server. I would like to be able to install sql server 2000 on my
workstation so that I can run my tests on a 'test' sql server environment. My
company only has two SQL Server 2000 licenses and they do not think that I
can install sql server 2000 on my workstation since this would require
another license?
Thus based upon my professiaonl version of visual studio.net 2005, can I
install sql server 2000 as a 'development' platform only? If so, can you
point to a url that will show me I can do this?
If not, what would if cost for my company to let me install sql server
2000 on my workstation for development purposes? My company gets a Microsoft
discount.
Thanks!

Depending on your needs, MSDE may do the trick, and the price is right :)
