Now that I think about it, $15K is about what
IDL costs in Europe. It must have been a lot more.
Probably $25K for the special license 10 years ago.
I'd guess in the neighborhood of $50K today, and
you have to come up the cash for every new
version of IDL!
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say, I probably wouldn't get the new
IDL 8 version. :-)

Trying here for the 4th time to send a post !
You have also the option of using a .sav file (you will need the IDL
virtual machine to run it. IDL VM is free), or create an executable.
The big advantage of the executable is that you or whoever is going to
be your user, won't need the IDL VM.

I made all my executable for free (and for windows 32, 64 bits, linux
32, 64 and mac in the same time !) I remember a link explaining how to
do it in detail. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will put
the link.
