Perpetual licenses. Per node. All features included.

Because it's the right model for the edge. Edge fleets get deployed once and run for years — sometimes a decade. Forcing customers onto subscriptions that compound annually is how the rest of the industry has decided to extract value from inertia. We'd rather charge fairly up front and earn the support renewal every year.

One physical server running NodeWeaver, regardless of cores, RAM, or workload count. A 4-core box and a 64-core box cost the same to license. You pay for the platform, not for the hardware you already own.

Every NodeWeaver capability — virtualization, software-defined storage and networking, integrated SASE, soft-realtime scheduling, PCI passthrough, 2-node HA, zero-touch deployment, EdgeInsight fleet management, airgap support. No features are gated behind a higher tier. There are no per-core, per-VM, or per-workload surcharges.

Basic Support ($300/node/year) covers business-hours response, the online support portal, and all software updates and patches. Enterprise Support ($600/node/year) adds 24/7 incident response, a named support engineer, SLA-backed response times, quarterly health reviews, and priority bug-fix routing — for production fleets where downtime has a real number attached to it.

Your nodes keep running on the version you have, indefinitely. No kill switch, no degradation, no feature lockout. You just stop receiving updates and lose support coverage. You can renew at any time; back-payment may apply to pick up missed updates.

Subscription is built for customers operating at scale who prefer monthly opex over a capital purchase. Below 100 nodes, the perpetual model is almost always the better deal — and we'll tell you that up front.

Yes. Many customers run perpetual licenses on their core fleet and use subscription to handle bursts, pilots, or short-term sites. EdgeInsight manages both as one fleet — no operational difference.

Yes — NodeWeaver complies with the platform requirements for PCI DSS, using the security capabilities built into every cluster: isolated virtual networks and strong workload insulation segment payment workloads; the built-in distributed firewall enforces default-deny rules per workload; per-tenant encryption-at-rest and encrypted traffic protect cardholder data at rest and in transit; tamper-resistant audit logs capture every rule change and access attempt; and encrypted, tamper-proof firmware with a hardened OS protects the platform underneath. Segmentation is demonstrable for your annual assessment — your QSA scopes the audit of your environment as a whole, and NodeWeaver provides the controls to keep the cardholder data environment contained.

We support the previous major version for two years after the introduction of a new major version. Updates and patches are included with an active support contract.

Locally — no internet connection required. A software token is generated on the host and activated directly through the web UI as a host attribute: you send us the host token, we respond with the license.

Yes. NodeWeaver is hardware-agnostic — any x86 platform with a network interface. We pre-validate with SuperMicro, Dell, Lenovo and HP, and can validate your existing fleet under an evaluation agreement.

Yes — a 30-day evaluation with no node limits, the full platform, and direct access to a NodeWeaver engineer. No commercial commitment until you choose to deploy past evaluation.

Yes — we sell through several global OEMs and SIs. Partner margins are protected, not eroded — see our Ethical Quality commitment on the Company page.
