Sure, but every site is different depending on the combination of
applications used.

Actually I work for Howard Miller (just across the street). Microsoft has
several different licensing plans depending on the quanity of clients
purchased. The last time I bought licenses we fell into the "class B"
level. Their policies and prices are moving targets so I have to get quotes
each time I buy. You really don't get much of a discount unless you are a
really big company such as, oh say GM. But even they really don't get much
more from Micro$oft. A year ago or so the really pissed of their major
clients by eliminating most of the discounts they were used to getting.

I just looked at the current catalog price for a single license.
