I do not know exactly what the licensing situation is, of course you will have to have some appropriate license. I also do not remember the price (less than I expected). I would recommend calling the National 800 number for AT&T Documentation, which is, I believe, 800-432-6600. The "license" number is of course 800-828-UNIX.
