Evaluation Period Management

NCache Enterprise comes with all features and no performance limitations during the initial evaluation period of 60 days. You can choose to extend this evaluation period for another 30 days using evaluation keys obtained from Alachisoft.

Evaluation Period Extension

Windows GUI Extension

Note that for the following steps, you must have obtained the Evaluation key from Alachisoft Sales.

Go to directory %NCHOME%/bin/NActivate.
Right-click on NActivateWizard.exe and select Run as Administrator.
Select Extend evaluation period option and click Next.

Enter the Extension key you've obtained from Alachisoft. If you do not have it at this step, you can click on Get Extension Key which redirects you to Alachisoft's request page.

Click Finish to exit NCache License Manager.

Important

The 30-day extension is valid from the original installation date and not from the day you are trying to extend it. So if you waited for 15 extra days after the initial 30-day evaluation period to extend it, you will only get an extension for 15 extra days instead of 30.

Evaluation Period Info

Evaluation period status is displayed with PowerShell cmdlets shipped with NCache. Search for Windows PowerShell, right-click on the search result and select Run as Administrator to execute these cmdlets. The quickest way to check License/Evaluation info is through Get-NCacheVersion:
