NSi offers online licensing of Kakadu Software™.

Kakadu Software™ is a Software Development Kit (SDK) that enables software engineers to develop imaging software applications that support the JPEG2000 standard. Kakadu Software™ is the world’s leading JPEG2000 developer’s toolkit.

Now with more extensive and convenient support for Java native interfaces, the software now automatically builds bindings for C# and Visual Basic programmers.

It features multi-threaded processing to fully utilize parallel processing resources (multiple CPUs, multi-core CPUs or hyperthreading). You can select the single-threaded processing model from v5.0 and before, or a new multi-threaded processing model (requires only a few extra lines of code in your application).

The Kakadu Software™ framework provides a solid foundation for a range of commercial and non-commercial applications. By making a consistent and efficient implementation of the standard widely available for both academic and commercial applications, our aim is to encourage the widespread adoption of JPEG2000.

Kakadu is almost certainly the only implementation which currently supports the extensive features offered by the JPX file format.

Well over 100 organizations have taken out full commercial licenses to build and sell applications based on Kakadu. Some products which utilize Kakadu (there are many more) are:
