Getting Started with NCache

This section familiarizes you with the fundamentals of NCache and offers help to use NCache quickly and efficiently.

Evaluation and Trial License

NCache Enterprise comes with all features during the initial evaluation period of 30 days. However, it has a built-in performance limitation (max 200 requests/sec per cache per server) and amount of activity limitation (total 500,000 requests before a cache restart is required).

You can remove these limitations from NCache Enterprise by requesting a FREE 60-day Trial License Key and activating all the cache servers with it. This Trial License is extendible for 30 days upon each additional request.

Upon purchase of NCache Enterprise, the purchased license key also removes all these limitations.
