Do we have more than one NB-DSS edition?

Yes. The DSS comes in two editions, the 'Professional' and the 'Corporate'.


How different are the editions?

The two editions are quite similar but for the 'Professional' edition, the database server exist on the same machine where the NB-DSS is installed. Whilst, for the 'Corporate', there is a centralized database server where postgress and postgis reside and can be accessed by machines that can connect to this server.  


Can a professional version turned into corporate?

A professional edition can be turned into corporate by allowing others to connect to its database server.


Are there any special requirements to install both editions?

The installation of both editions does require administrative privileges. The recommended minimum system requirements to install them are:
