Payment Information
NetTower has the following pricing.
1+ single user licenses, $8 per user
A Site License costs $100 (roughly equal to 27 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site (100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software.
A World-Wide License costs $250 and it covers all locations for your organization on the planet earth.
