If Im not mistaken, you technically only need one license to run on your
mail server.  Only one user is *technically* scanning mail (root).

we use mcafee on our campus...we have some sort of site license for
desktop scanning software and they just gave us the unix scanner as part
of that agreement.  I have no idea what we paid.
