I've never seen anything resembling a price list from Progress, but you can probably get Client Networking as a concurrent or named user license. We have a very small number of Client Networking licenses that are needed - I believe to run ABL rcode on a client PC in a Windows GUI application connecting to databases on a remote server. It's part of an application we purchased from a Progress vendor.
