According to a phone call I made to Adobe about 2 months ago, the single
font cost was $185.00, and the multiple-printer version (read 5 printers)
was $375.00.  For use in a large institutional setting, the multiple 
printer arrangement is the only satisfactory answer.  It would probably not
be reasonable/economic for a single user in that environment (even if it
were not copy prevented).
