You can put this solution on YOUR website!
site license fee = $1500.

without the site license fee, the cost per computer is $200.

1500/200 = 7.5

The site license fee will pay for itself if the company has more than 7 computers at the site.

7 computers costs $1400.

8 computers costs $1600.

$1500 is the break even point.
