PREMIUM SOFTWARE

ISC is a non-profit organization that exists to support the Internet. Our software is open source because we believe in building a better Internet. We have also created some premium software to offer to our supporters. The Kea core daemons are open source, but there are optional premium modules that can be purchased online; additional premium modules come with an ISC Kea support subscription. BIND support subscribers are entitled to use the BIND Subscription Edition, a modified version of the BIND distribution with advanced features.
