Software bundle

An NSP software bundle is a set of one or more installation files that you download and use to deploy the product.

For NSP cluster deployment, a software bundle consists of a container runtime environment and the NSP software. For NSP components that are deployed outside an NSP cluster, an NSP software bundle consists of a set of RPM installation files. Each bundle type is available for download as one or more compressed archive files.

Feature packages

The purchase of feature packages and the associated license keys grants the right to download and use the software. “Feature packages” are not self-contained from a software-bundling or installation perspective; a feature package simply entitles you to a particular set of features. After you download and extract a software bundle, and configure your installation options during installation, the feature packages you purchased are enabled and the associated features are available for your use.
