Lite, Standard or Pro

I currently have three licenses for Pro for my servers, I have a number of developers that I'd like to install the product on their desktop, so we can more easily get a copy of the production database for development without actually hosing up production 
.
I use 256 bit encryption and compression on the database and want to be able to just restore the backup without having to decompress first.
Can I purchase Lite versions for my developers so they can at least do the restore without having to decompress first, or do I need to get Standard?
Is that even possible? Or would I have to drop my encryption level to 128 and purchase Std for each developer?
I'm not too concerned about having the devs encrypt their database in a backup from their local machine, because we don't really back that part of it up. We backup up code (script files, etc) each day - but not the DB as it's assumed it's all just dev work.

A lite license will allow you to restore a 256 bit encrypted backup - contact the sales guys if you would like a test lite license and I'm sure they will be able to help you out,
