Given your criteria, thats the only product below a thousand bucks that will 
do all the things you need. As for licensing; you can certainly build profiles 
for individual's printers with this setup, but they really need to spring for 
their own Spyder; there is no allowance for profiling monitors beyond your 
own site, and your own laptops. This would be true, to the best of my knowledge, 
with all such monitor profiling products. But leaving an $89 Spyder2express 
behind on each site shouldn't stretch the budget too far...
