Notes:

1. Free Trial (fully working, without limits): The NCache free trial contains all the features and no performance or sizing limitations. Install it on as many servers of any server profile as you wish to fully evaluate NCache. The trial can be extended upon request. Upon downloading NCache or registering for a trial on our website, you receive an install key that allows you to get started without any more approvals. Your trial period is checked against your company’s domain name.
 
2. Free Dev Workstation and Dev/QA Server: Dev Workstation is an NCache client provided through NuGet, Maven, PyPi, and npm, and includes full NCache API and a stand-alone local InProc cache. Dev/QA Server is a stand-alone cache server (or a local OutProc cache on Dev Workstation) with a max of 2 remote client nodes and unlimited local clients. Both Dev Workstation and Dev/QA Server provide a 2 GB aggregated cache size max and performance limits of less than 25 req/sec total.
3. Activating NCache with a License Key: Upon purchase, you receive a license key. Entering the license key on each server (and client for legacy client/server licensing) converts NCache from evaluation mode to a purchased copy without any re-installation. With an Annual Subscription, NCache works for one year. At the end of this subscription period, you must renew the subscription, or NCache stops working. However, you’re given ample alerts by NCache (and our sales team) before your renewal date.
4. Perpetual Licenses: This option is available only to existing customers as a grandfathered option. Own these and only pay for annual maintenance and support each year. 24/7 support is purchased separately and is only possible with an active annual maintenance and support. For the latest NCache version, even existing perpetual license customers must use annual subscription licenses, but they pay their original annual maintenance and support instead of annual subscription license fees.
5. Annual Subscription: Pay this each year. The subscription price includes annual maintenance and support. However, 24x7 support is purchased separately.
 
6. Site License: Unlimited NCache Server-only Annual Subscription licenses per site that are valid only as long as the customer has paid the annual site license fee. A site is one overall application consisting of one or more related applications deployed either together or in similar environments, used by the same users or customers, and collectively providing one general solution. This one application is owned by one legal entity or its affiliates. The application may be deployed for internal use, for customers, or for partners of this legal entity or its affiliates.
7. Mid-Year Additional Licenses (Pro-Rated): Purchase additional subscription licenses mid-year on a prorated basis. You are charged upfront for all the remaining months until the end of the subscription period, and the initial month is prorated. Additionally, these subscription licenses are automatically renewed at the end of the subscription period unless you specify otherwise.
 
8. Monthly Server: Purchase monthly subscription licenses on top of an annual subscription to use for a few months mid-year. The month for each server starts when it is first activated. If auto-renew is enabled for the annual subscription and you have sufficient months available on monthly servers, then these servers automatically renew their monthly subscription along with the annual subscription. However, if the annual subscription is not renewed, then any unused monthly subscription licenses are lost at the end of the annual subscription period.
9. Move Licenses (On-Premises, Multi-Cloud): Move NCache licenses from one environment to another by deactivating/reactivating them when needed. You can also share licenses between on-premises and Azure / AWS or other clouds, and also from one cloud to another. However, moving licenses is only possible with an active subscription, or for perpetual licenses, with an active annual support and maintenance.
10. Major Versions: Major version releases of NCache are provided free of charge if you have an active Annual Subscription or an active Annual Support and Maintenance with perpetual licenses.
11. Service Packs: NCache Service packs for fixing bugs and minor feature enhancements are provided free of charge if you have subscription licenses or an active Annual Support and Maintenance for perpetual licenses.
12. Private Patches (Hot Fixes): NCache Private Patches are meant for fixing critical bugs in a timely manner, where a customer cannot wait for the next service pack release. The Private Patches are developed specifically for a customer but may also be made available to other customers having similar issues/problems. However, Private Patches are only available to customers on active subscriptions or active annual maintenance and support.
13. Remote Client: Without an installer, it includes NuGet, Maven, PyPi, and npm packages, full NCache API, and an InProc Local Cache / Client Cache. With an installer (Windows, Linux), it also includes an OutProc Local Cache / Client Cache. Remote clients on the Client-Server licensing model must use an installer to allow them to activate their licenses.
 
14. Server-only Licensing (RAM, vCPUs): These servers are licensed on a combination of RAM and vCPUs, whichever is higher. Each RAM and vCPU combination represents a server plan using up a certain number of licenses. You can change these plans by reusing your licenses.
 
15. Legacy Client/Server Licensing (vCPUs): The client/server licensing is our legacy licensing scheme that is only available to existing customers as a grandfathered option. These servers and remote clients are licensed on vCPUs only, with no limits on RAM. Each license is equal to 4 vCPUs, with a minimum of 2 licenses per server and client. In legacy client/server licensing, available only to existing customers as a grandfathering option, “cores” are used instead of vCPUs to calculate licenses.
