Licence and updates

One-time purchase: pay once and the version you bought is yours to keep.
Updates: during early access, every new version is a free update; when early access ends, 12 more months of updates are included. After that, the version you have and every version released during your update period keep working; to get later versions, renew for US$59 a year.
Seats: one seat is one person at a time, on up to 2 computers. It can move between people inside your company, but not to another company. For several people, buy one seat each.
Activation file: one per computer, valid for one year; download it again for free from the account page before it expires — on any computer with internet access, then carry it over on a USB stick. The software itself never goes online.

Without a licence, nccs estimate takes one file of up to 10,000 lines at a time, the same as the browser version.

Getting started

The browser version needs no account — drop a program in and it runs.

Download Windows desktop version

The desktop version includes the nccs CLI tool. All computation is offline; NC code does not leave your computer. The desktop version needs a license to calculate; to try it first, use the browser version, which is free.
