YUM Software repository (as available)

By buying this product you also have access to a separate YUM repository of ready-to-install software for the duration of your subscription. Our graphical interface to YUM, Arca Noae Package Manager, allows you to easily install, update, and remove these software packages.

Subscription

This product is a subscription; it entitles your company to the newest versions of drivers and software for a period of 12 months after purchase. After these 12 months you may no longer download the drivers or access our software repository or bug tracker unless your company renews its subscription. However, your company’s currently installed software will continue to work. Your IT staff may also (re)install the drivers and software on your company’s systems after its subscription ends.

The subscription includes Arca Noae-developed drivers and software and may include additional work by third parties which we consider important to all users through our convenient distribution channel. Arca Noae provides support for Arca Noae-developed drivers and software for the duration of the subscription.

Also note that this product is not a license for OS/2 or eComStation; your company must have a legal copy of either operating system.

This subscription product is not intended for use with ArcaOS. Instead, please subscribe to ArcaOS Support & Maintenance.

Commercial edition

The Commercial edition is intended for enterprises, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. It is licensed per-system (one physical workstation or server, or one active virtual machine), with volume discounts available. In addition, the commercial edition entitles the subscribing entity to priority support and elevated consideration of feature and enhancement requests, as well as requests for new packages.

Please contact us for price quotations of 100 seats or more.

Compare

Many people ask about the differences between an OS/2 & eCS Drivers & Software subscription and an ArcaOS Support & Maintenance subscription. Hopefully, this table will help bring things into focus.

Users of ArcaOS should purchase the ArcaOS Support & Maintenance subscription; users with other version of OS/2 (such as eComStation, Warp 4 and 4.51/4.52) should purchase the OS/2 & eCS Drivers & Software subscription. Note that ArcaOS Support & Maintenance can only be purchased by licensees of ArcaOS.
