License Expiration and Update

Before a license expires, a warning message is displayed at the bottom of the Administration Interface, notifying you how long you have left until your license expires and where to go to renew your license.

Once a license expires, all licensed features will display in error-state until a new license is entered. However, their settings are kept and are restored, along with the functionality, when a new license is entered.

 

 

To update your license:

  1. Go to the Zend Server Download page to receive a new license.
  2. In the Administration Interface, go to Administration | Password and License.

  1. Enter your new license details into the "Update License" area.
  2. Click to apply the changes.
    The progress indicator is displayed indicating that the validation of the license details is taking place.

  1. Zend Server displays with all features enabled. The warning notice is no longer visible and will only reappear before license expiration.
