I sell a lot of HelpSpot licenses to K-12 schools which made me think of it. You'd probably have to figure out how to market it right. Perhaps going through existing customers, letting them be your advocates to administration that Bingo is a cool program and would be great for all the teachers to have, etc. I mean a site license to all the teachers in a district, etc. I know the schools around here have a computer in each classroom so this would allow a district to put Bingo on each computer.

I offer a discount for buying multiple copies at once but to date I've sold exactly zero that way. (This isn't really a program that screams site license, though. For one, kids don't generally make bingo cards themselves unless its under the direction of a teacher, in which case automating it is counterproductive to the educational goal of having the kids write out the 25 spelling words. For two, most teachers would probably consider it worthwhile to beg a set of cards off the one teacher with a copy of bingo card creator rather than paying for a license to make the cards themselves.)

This is a bit off topic, but have you thought about offering an site license option? I could see schools buying this to put on each classroom machine, etc. Maybe $299/$499 or something like that?
