Windows

The Windows-based version of nmake is available either as a perpetual Right-To-Use (RTU) with optional annual maintenance, or as an annual subscription (where one year of RTU and maintenance are licensed). The annual subscription runs for 1 year from date of sale and includes technical support from 9am-5pm Eastern time, bug fixes, and new release updates. First year of maintenance is required with the RTU license and optional in subsequent years. Technical support and bug fixes are available for active releases only.

UNIX/Linux

The nmake product for UNIX/Linux platforms is available as an annual subscription to individual projects on a calendar year basis. The contract runs from January to Dec 31st in the same calendar year. The license fee includes technical support from 9am-5pm Eastern time, bug fixes, and new release updates. Technical support and bug fixes are available for active releases only. The price for UNIX/Linux versions of nmake are determined by the "class" of machine on which the software will reside (see the Machine Class table below). For smaller projects there is a low-cost single-user license available. This type of license is limited to a maximum of three users on a given nmake host machine.

A Word About Machine Classes

nmake for UNIX/Linux bases its purchase price on the "class" of the machine it is hosted on rather than charging a "per user" fee. A machine's class is based on its overall throughput capabilities, or "power". The more powerful a machine is, the more nmake users it can support, and consequently, the higher the purchase price of the tool. Machines are ranked in classes I, II, III or IV, with IV being the highest. The main machine attributes used to determine its class are its processor speed, number of processors, and its class as defined by the vendor. A given vendor's high-end "server class" machines with multiple, fast processors will likely be designated as Class IV, while its entry-level "workstation class" machines will likely be designated as Class I. Of course, there can be significant differences in entry-level and high-end machines from different vendors, and this is taken into account when designating the Machine Classes.
