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.

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 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.
You are not required to enter a license to use Zend Server. However, you must have a valid license to use the complete edition of Zend Server.
If you enter Zend Server without a license, you can run Zend Server 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.

If you have already been running Zend Server 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 |
Zend Server will start to run in a fully functional mode. |

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 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.
