Zend Server license key?

[thany]

I have just successfully installed Zend Server on Ubuntu 12 by following the "manual installation" steps in the "Configuring a DEB repository" listed here:
http://www.zend.com/en/products/server-ce/downloads

All good. I can access the control panel just fine. Now it asks for a license key - or it will keep all kinds of things disabled.

I suspect what was actually installed, is the regular Zend Server, not the community edition. Am I wrong? Could I have done something wrong, or is the provided guide not correct? And how to I switch to the community edition and get rid of all the "missing license" errors?

When you install ZS and do not enter a license key you will get the basic community edition functionality. The full Zend Server features are enabled by the license key. You can get a 30 day trial license if you click the "Generate a Trial License" button.

Ah, so it's different from the Windows version, where the non-CE features are simply not there?

So am I right in assuming that the license key errors are going to stick?

[idobms]

It is the same for Windows. When you do not enter a valid license key ZS operates as ZSCE. The commercial edition features will stay disabled until you enter a license key but the functionality is the same as previous versions CE and there should not be a license error. In ZS 5.6 the binaries for both product editions are similar. It is more simple and you can enter a commercial key at any time to enable the more advanced management, troubleshooting and performance capabilities without the need to reinstall.

I have similar problem under Debian 6 Squeeze.
I've added the repo for Zend Server with php 5.4, installed:

Zend Server started...


However when going into the monitor GUI, I cant get past the license key request for the full version!
I remember in the past, CE version had limited GUI as well - so what am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you installed the "full package" not the CE one.

It sounds like you installed the "full package" not the CE one.

How could this be? the package name is obviously zend-server-ce-php-5.4 with CE in it!
How else to install the CE package?
