They likely are including a $5 fee for every student... making a huge 
lump sum... even tho not every student will use the software....

at western, all fulltime undergrads are charged ~$90 on their student 
fees for a bus pass... when it was debated a few years back, the 
argument went a similar way.. why charge every student when only some 
(most) will use the bus pass... but of course the logic is the cheapo 
$90 is great for 8 months bus pass. By having everyone pay, the 
university is able to offer LTC a huge chunk of reliable income.... 
the benefit to them is great, and students get a cheap buss pass out 
of the deal.

likely similar thing going on with the MS deal in the US.
