Hex-Rays Decompiler is an addition\extension for IDA Pro and I doubt it can work as a separate standalone product.
Please see "Prerequisites" part of Hex-Rays Decompiler Manual:
"The decompiler requires the latest version of IDA..."
https://www.hex-rays.com/products/decompiler/manual/prereq.shtml
But this question, IMO, should be addressed to the Hex-Rays Sales Department.

June 20, 2017 - To make them RW you need to set RW flags, change name of segment to something not from special list, and maybe change segment type as well from CODE to DATA or UNK or what you want.

I suggest you look for decompiled code samples posted on the internet. That should give you a good indication of the decompiler's capabilities.
You can interactively decompile. Or also decompile in bulk. It decompiles a 22M binary containing 57k functions, totalling about 4.3M lines of code in about 1 hour. The decompilation can also be modified using pytbon scripts.
With some tweaking of variable and function types you can get very readable code. Also of c++ or objective-c with lots of virtual function calls.
