I checked with Consumer Reports on this just last week.  They're willing
to
set up a multi-user subscription, but we didn't even get into the
question
of password vs. IP recognition because the only billing arrangement they
can
make is to bill the subscription monthly to a credit card, which our
business office won't consider.
