The NexusDB Starter Edition is a DCU/binary only edition that features full C/S capabilities with restricted SQL features. There are no artificial performance limitiations or database/table size restrictions. The Starter Edition supports Delphi XE (incuding Delphi XE Starter Edition) and later, and C++ Builder XE (including C++ Builder Starter Edition) and later.

The NexusDB Starter Edition is very competitively priced and targeted at hobbyists and small business software developers. According to our normal support policies, the price includes 1 year base support after which a renewal is necessary to be eligible for further updates.

An upgrade from Starter Edition to the full NexusDB Developer SRC Edition is available for customers from their "Licenses & Support" page.
