Enabling the license servers

To operate ZD&T Enterprise Edition, and authorize the licensee to use the product or any of its components, you need to enable the License Server. You can follow the steps that are provided in the checklist.

Attention: All license key files or USB hardware device activations expire after one year from the date they were generated, or after less than a year if the entitlement is from a term license that expires in less than a year. If your purchase entitles you to use the product for more than one year, you need to renew the license key or the USB hardware device activation each year. Renewal activates the license key or USB hardware device for a subsequent year or until the end of the fixed term if less than a year.
