Registering Zend Server

After you have downloaded and installed Zend Server, you will be automatically using a Zend Server Enterprise edition trial license. This license gives you full access to all Zend Server features for a period of 30 days. Once this trial period ends, you will have to purchase a commercial Zend Server license to continue using the product.

License details can be updated at any stage during a subscription period, or during a trial period on the License page. For more information, see Registering a Zend Server License below.
