License Expiration

 

The first time Zend Server runs, the Password and License page is displayed.

This page is also displayed when your license expires or when you reset your password. After you define your password the first time, you can always change your password from the Administration Interface. For more information, see Password Management.

 

From the Password and License page, you can set your Administration Interface password and enter your license details.

Zend Server Password and License Details Screen

Setting a Password

Your password is used to log in to the Administration Interface, either from the main login page accessed from your browser or from the Zend Controller.
If you are using the Zend Controller locally or remotely (i.e., Zend Server Community Edition and Zend Controller are located on separate machines), make sure that the Zend Controller settings match your Zend Server settings. Click here for instructions on how to change your Zend Controller settings according to your operating system.

 

Passwords must be between 4 - 20 characters long.

Licenses

You are not required to enter a license to use Zend Server Community Edition. However, you must have a valid license to use the complete edition of Zend Server Community Edition.

How do I just take a look at the product?

If you enter Zend Server Community Edition without a license, you can run Zend Server Community Edition in the Community Edition Mode. In this mode, Zend Server 's Community Edition features ( PHP 5.x, Zend Data Cache, Zend Debugger, Zend Guard Loader, Zend Java Bridge and Zend Optimizer+) are available and the features that require a license are visible and disabled.

To enter the Community Edition mode, do not enter an Order Number and License Key.  

Click to start using Zend Server Community Edition in Community Edition mode.

As soon as you enter a valid license, all licensed features are automatically activated for the license period.

How do I get a License?

If you do not already have a license, go to the licensing page on zend.com to find out how to get a license.

I already have a License - what do I do?

If you have already purchased a license, you should have received a confirmation e-mail that includes your Order Number and License Key.

If you have just installed Zend Server Community Edition :

To enter a license, enter your Order Number and License Key as stated in your confirmation e-mail and click enter.png.

If you have already been running Zend Server Community Edition in Community Edition Mode or with an evaluation license:

In the Administration Interface go to Administration | Password and License.

Enter your new license details into the "Update License" area.

Click update_license.png to apply the changes.

Zend Server Community Edition will start to run in a fully functional mode.

License Expiration

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

Once a license expires, Zend Server Community Edition reverts to Community Edition mode until a new license is entered. During this time, all licensed features are unavailable. However, their settings are kept and are restored, along with the functionality, when a new license is entered.
