Metering software will take care of this problem. With many packages
out there you can limit who can use the software, how many can be
checked out at one time, etc. Plus, you get tons of great usage
reports. The software that I am privy too, and probably most people on
this list are sick of me talking about because I like it so much, is
Metrix Express Metering Software. Check it out, it might solve some of
these issues for you.

I would be wary of having them purchase it, since you ultimately could
be held responsible for providing it to them in an unlicensed manner.
You have to have one Office CAL per client machine. So realistically
you would roll it into the per-license cost that they would pay you.
Every TS license you provide =3D another Office license, so to speak.
It's very difficult to enforce.
