It may only be used in conjunction with a valid NetWare 6 license. NetDrive is based on a very old version of WebDrive from South River Technologies (the developers of WebDrive). It was licensed to Novell for use within the NetWare 6 environment and was not intended to be freely distributed. If you are looking for a product with a more mature WebDAV/HTTPS implementation, use WebDrive instead. NetDrive is not a free utility.
