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 seven days. Once this initial trial period ends, you can either request a trial extension license for an additional 21 days, purchase a commercial Zend Server license, or begin using the Zend Server Free edition. At the end of the extended trial period, you can either purchase a commercial license, or begin using the Zend Server Free edition.
At any stage during the initial and extended trial periods, or during your license period, you can update your license details on the License page. For more information, see Registering a Zend Server License below.
