The last time I checked (~1998) it was something like $850 unless you
were a university. Being retired, that was more than I could justify
spending.
I just took a look at the LLNL website
<http://www.llnl.gov/IPandC/technology/software/softwaretitles/nec.php>
and the export controls have been relaxed somewhat. The current price
is $300 for U.S. educational/non-commercial customers ($500 for non-US).
