How to obtain vcruntime140_1d.dll while respecting license agreements

What is the rightful way to obtain this DLL without breaching the license agreements?

(I am not going to distribute this DLL to clients, I only need if for my development process, e.g. debugging)

Context: In this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/74114995, it is suggested that Visual Studio Build Tools can be used to obtain the said DLL, but it seems that these tools also have particular license terms when it comes to non-Community licensees.

Visual Studio licences are normally issued per-user for a specified period of time. If you have a current subscription to use Visual Studio 14 or 15 (2015 or 2017), the subscription will also allow you to download Visual Studio 16 or 17 (2019 or 2022).

You can try out the new version of Visual Studio, and its Debug binaries as long as you don't distribute them. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Visual-Studio-Licensing-Whitepaper-July2023.pdf

In the Visual Studio by subscription level spreadsheet, a "Visual Studio Professional" subscription (columns H - L, rows 1810-1820), shows all four of the Visual Studio levels mentioned.
