You should contact a computer reseller or CDW or Softwarehouse and ask
them about Microsoft's Open Licensing program (I think it's called
MOLP).

This allows you to purchase licenses at a discount because you're
buying them in bulk.  Then you purchase 2-3 copies of the CD-ROM
(usually under $10) and you deploy them.

Negotiate with the vendors, as each vendor has a different pricing structure/model.

Never buy from the "ultra-cheap" SPAMMers that try to taunt you with
$25 copies of office.  It's not legal, and in many cases, you won't
get usable software from them.

Besides, I'd never give a dime to a SPAMmer, as it would reinforce
their business model.
