Where did you find that, actually? When I tried to figure out, all I could find were decompiler prices. I will say that ~$2600 for a named license wouldn't be so bad, though it's certainly nothing I'll be able to casually drop anytime soon.

  oh, wow, i didn't realize i was looking at _just_ the decompiler cost. i've updated my comment, although i'm still not sure if i read the prices correctly.

    Suppose you wanted a per-computer license to run on Linux. IDASTACL is $979, getting you a disassembler for 32-bit only. It is possible to add up to 3 decompilers (ppc, x86, arm) for $2629 each. Getting all of this would be $8866. You can't add the two decompilers for 64-bit architectures. IDAPROCL is $1879, getting you a disassembler for everything. It is possible to add up to 5 decompilers (ppc, x86, arm, x86-64, arm64) for $2629 each. Getting all of this would be $15024. For hobby use, Binary Ninja for $149 and Hopper Disassembler for $99 are more reasonable choices. All of these have demo and/or freeware versions available, with IDA having both. Freeware versions are generally limited to x86 and ARM, without a decompiler. Demo versions are generally limited by being unable to save and by a forced quit after half an hour or so.

  Hex-Rays doesn't do named licenses anymore, only node-locked or floating.

    Ah, I see... I guess floating isn't too bad, though I'm not sure why it's preferred over named (maybe stronger phoning home?)
  - souprock 8y ago
    That is the case for companies. Individual humans can still buy named licenses.

      Though that may be true, it does not appear they currently have named prices listed for IDA Pro, only the HexRays decompiler.
