Licensing & installation
How to install the suite, how per-product licensing works, and current pricing.
Clear prices, no fine print
We are fully transparent: we publish the price of every product in the suite, individually and as a bundle. What you see in this table is exactly what you pay — no hidden costs, no surprises on renewal, and the terms are clear before you buy.
If you need a multi-server deployment, packs or a 24x7 support agreement, we quote it in writing before starting.
- ✓ List price per product, with no opaque negotiation.
- ✓ Support renewal at 20% off, or the product keeps working forever.
- ✓ No installation or upgrade cost during the support period.
- ✓ The same price in all six languages and no per-user cost.
Suite installation
All utilities install into a common root directory (default /opt/ns, configurable with --prefix). The installer adds bin/ to your PATH, creates the libs/ folder for the user exit libraries and exports NS_HOME.
./install.sh
- 1 Run the installer: ./install.sh --prefix /opt/ns (or --prefix /work/ns for another location)
- 2 Reload your shell: source ~/.bashrc (NS_HOME and PATH set)
- 3 Place each product license in /opt/ns/licenses/<product>.key
- 4 Copy the NSAdaSync user exit library (nsadasync.so) into /opt/ns/libs/ and set ADAUEX_4=/opt/ns/libs/nsadasync.so in the Adabas nucleus
- 5 Run any utility: nsdeploy, nsadafile... from any directory
Licencias
Each product has its own perpetual, one-time-payment license, independent from the rest. The license is resolved from: $NS_LICENSE_FILE → next to the product data → /opt/ns/licenses/.
The installer creates the /opt/ns/libs/ folder for the libraries the Adabas nucleus loads as a user exit. For example, NSAdaSync needs its nsadasync.so library in that folder and the ADAUEX_4 parameter pointing to it: without it, no changes are captured from the nucleus.
