The Legacy Engine is a one-time purchase of the Transcom dropcatch software outright — your own licensed copy of the engine to install and run on your own Linux server, catching dropping domains from any registrar that uses the EPP / DAC XML process. £445 one-time. What the software does: The engine catches dropping domain names from registrars using the EPP / DAC XML process — around 80 countries operate one. The configuration file comes pre-configured with Nominet parameters, making it ready to use straight away for any Nominet registrar. Once you own it, there are no monthly fees — you run it on your own infrastructure under your own TAG. Modern time-release engine: The current software is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release drop process (introduced September 2022), while remaining compatible with the older DAC/EPP method. Key features: - Multiple non-blocking EPP sockets — all scripts run multi-socket and non-blocking. - A proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks for tighter timing. - Seven chronological result points to help you judge the best moment to send EPP creates. - Latency computation displayed on the login screen. - Post-check registration — register a name if the catch timing missed the slot but the domain became available. How you run it: - Requires PHP 7.4.x with the server set to UTC/Zulu time (all drop times are in Zulu). - run.php — single domain, non-blocking mode. - robin.php — round-robin mode, multiple domains read from a flatfile list, fully automated. - Several additional utilities are provided, plus nightly Nominet droplist downloads. Own it outright: Install via SSH on your own Linux server using your EPP password, Account ID and licence key. Existing SSH-software owners can upgrade to the new engine. A one-time purchase with no recurring fees — settle caught domains with Nominet directly at your own registrar rate. Leased options are also available if you'd prefer not to buy.
