Their latest pricing at www.netlib.com/genlpricing10715a_forweb.pdf, effective July 15,2010, shows Encryptionizer DE (for non-SQL desktop databases) , the DE Workstation (standalone) version up to 10 workstations costs $5,000. Add to this another 15% mandatory support for the first year and it comes to $5,750 for 10 workstations, or $575/each- not cheap.
