If you have to ask how much something costs, you can't generally afford it.
Having known Jim and having been helpful in developing the emulator,
I nonetheless have never asked for a license. But since the emulator has at
least one paid customer, unless the license with that sole customer precludes licensing it to others, I would be surprised if a license
couldn't be obtained. I suspect it would be a monthly- or yearly- thing,
with rights to use ending with the end of the support contract.

But maybe not. Next time I have five figures in the bank, I intend to ask.
