How to get a F5 BIG-IP VE Developer Lab License

To quote The Princess Bride in relation to the word Reseller, "You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means." As others have pointed out, F5 Networks has lost touch with the experience on the ground for us engineers that want to obtain individual lab licenses (I currently need three). Let me be clear. I DO NOT WANT TO OBTAIN A LICENSE THROUGH WORK NOR NON-COMMERCIAL VENDOR. The only resource I've ever found that offered what I and my peers need is CDW, and their cart is COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL. It leads to weeks of debates through email and phone, one part of the company looping into another like a snake eating its tail. I've been able to buy licenses from CDW in the past, but I tried twice recently and failed. It's a joke. I appreciate people on this board trying to help, but I don't want to purchase outside of the US, and I shouldn't have to. The company is here. I work here. And I don't want to purchase licenses under the umbrella of another organization, my purchase attributed to them. The problem is that F5 Networks thinks it has a system in place to help engineers, but that system is completely broken. Give is a direct line to purchase these. Make a page available for individual logged-in users, allowing us to buy LAB VE licenses with a credit card. How hard can that be? F5 doesn't need to give money to a middle party who has no compelling interest in these small transactions. Or... just fix this awful situation with CDW. I'm sensing denial on the part of F5's role in that system no longer working. And CDW has made it painfully clear that they can't obtain the licenses from F5 Networks when people order them. F5 keeps coming back with intractable red tape. Last two times I tried to order, CDW said that F5 required some kind of prior company invoice, and so the cycle of horror begins, back and forth, until we finally give up. And then come here when all else fails.
