It depends on the state of the drive. If the heads are out of alignment, Spinrite probably won't do anything for you. If it's just a few miswritten sectors, it'll do its best to reconstruct the data. You can start off with a level 1 scan just to get an idea how far gone the drive is. Level 2 is the minimum scan level for any real defect analysis to take place.
Volume licensing is sort of on the honor system. You would need a total of four licenses to be considered volume licensed. You can start off with one license to get a feel for it.
