Works well, but project appears abandoned
by ssouthern, September 30, 2015
It provides great information, and has a great deal of useful functionality.

Still needs an x64 Windows release, especially with nano server on the horizon.

Thei github site appears to be completely inactive though, and support questions are going unanswered. If the project isn't dead, someone needs to speak up, otherwise we're going to have to switch back to NSClient++.

It's not open source
by pall.sigurdsson, November 30, 2013
Despite previous claims, there is no link to source code and the license included is a proprietary one.

Mac OS X Install
by lonlone, October 31, 2013
How do I install NCPA on Mac OS X? In the install instructions, I see downloads for Windows, Linux RPM, and DEB packaging. Can any of those options be used for Mac or is there another download somewhere else?
Helpful? Yes  No
