I contacted NeTraverse quite a while ago as I was interested in "several" Win4Lin licenses to use at home. Their multi-license packs were around the same price as the same number of individual licenses, so the cost was prohibitive. I noticed also that they didn't seem to understand that despite the fact that I wanted a 5-license pack, I was not a business raking in money and thinking nothing about spreading it around to my suppliers :-) I found them clueless. I would look elsewhere - for Office, Codeweavers is supposed to be pretty stable. I haven't tried it - I keep one Windoze XP Pro box around and rdesktop into it.If you need only a few concurrent sessions you might consider doing the same thing (a few XP boxes sitting on the net)- computers are damn cheap these days. And, irritatingly, there are some files sent around that only a Windoze box can look at; I've had some Acrobat files like that.
