"winiso" software site license?

Hi everyone,

        We're interested in a utility "winiso" to help make slipstreamed
2003 server images (with, for instance, SP1 added). They say a "site license"
is $199 (http://www.winiso.com).

        Any feedback about the product? We're examining a crippleware
evaluation copy, but my queries to the listed contact (support@winiso.com)
are bouncing, not a good sign but there can be many things behind it.

        Any suggestions on alternate products already available for
this task?

        Does anyone know if someone has already licensed a "site"?

        Any suggestions on attempting a "site license"? I see references
to UCOP, but they seem more concerned with "significant volume" vis-a-vis
negotiating an better license cost, rather than my concern which is that
I suspect I don't really have the authority to bind UCB into a license
agreement with a vendor. Or maybe I do, or maybe no one cares much at
this scale? Because of the previously mentioned lack of communication,
I do not know what constitutes a "site" in the vendor's view, but would
be happy to leverage our potential purchase for as many of us as possible.

        Suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks.

        Kevin
