QNAP to Unlock All Qsirch Premium Features for Free, Announces Upcoming AI-Powered Search Enhancements

QNAP Systems, Inc. announced that starting October 1, 2025, all Qsirch Premium features will be unlocked and available to every Qsirch user at no additional cost.

As part of this change, the current Qsirch Premium licensing program will be retired, ensuring that all QNAP NAS users can enjoy the full power of Qsirch’s advanced search capabilities without license restrictions.

Premium features for everyone – A better search experience
Qsirch has long been a favorite among QNAP NAS users, delivering fast, accurate full-text file searches and AI-powered smart filtering to help manage and access NAS data more efficiently. With this change, even Qsirch Lite users will gain access to all former Premium features – no license purchase required.

“We are committed to advancing AI search and making it accessible to every user,” said Vivian Luo, product manager, QNAP. “This change unlocks the complete Qsirch experience for everyone and sets the stage for even more powerful enhancements in future releases.”

Qsirch 6.0 coming soon – On-prem RAG search and multi-turn conversations
The company also announced that Qsirch 6.0 will introduce major AI upgrades, including:

• On-premises LLM models (such as DeepSeek, Gemma) integrated with RAG search
• RAG multi-turn conversation capabilities
• No license restrictions – upgrade to Qsirch 6.0 to use all Premium features for free

In addition to supporting cloud-based LLMs, Qsirch 6.0 will allow deployment of on-prem LLMs on high-end QNAP NAS models equipped with specific GPUs, providing stronger privacy protection and faster semantic search performance – ideal for building efficient, secure AI knowledge management platforms.

Qsirch 5.3.3 to offer all premium features for free
To accommodate users who have not yet upgraded to QTS 5.x or the latest Qsirch, the company will release Qsirch 5.3.3 at the end of August 2025. This version removes license restrictions, enabling users to enjoy all Premium features without having to perform multiple system upgrades.
