What do enterprise sized organisations who aren't allowed to use the community edition under the EULA and don't have professional or enterprise licences use to install SSDT 2019?

@BarneyL, the EULA of VS 2019 community edition has a section that specifically allows usage without user number restriction as long as you only use the SSDT components (including SSIS). Refer to https://aka.ms/AA4j4dx.

But I don’t have license for professional or enterprise edition of Visual Studio.

The Community Edition of Visual Studio 2019 allows you to use the above components without the restriction on number of users. For details around licensing, please refer to the EULA of Community Edition.
