Zimbra License Requirements

A Zimbra license is required in order to create accounts in the Network Edition VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server.

Several types of licenses are available:

Trial. You can obtain a free Trial license from the Zimbra website, at www.zimbra.com. The trial license allows you to create up to 50 users. It expires in 60 days.

Trial Extended. You can obtain a Trial Extended license from Zimbra Sales by contacting sales@zimbra.com or calling 1-650-427-5701. This license allows you to create up to 50 users and is valid for an extended period of time.

Subscription. You must purchase the Zimbra Subscription license. This license is valid for a specific VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server system and is encrypted with the number of Zimbra accounts (seats) you have purchased, the effective date, and expiration date of the subscription license.

Perpetual. You must purchase the Zimbra Perpetual license. This license is similar to a subscription license and is valid for a specific VMware Zimbra Collaboration Server system, is encrypted with the number of Zimbra accounts (seats) you have purchased, the effective date, and an expiration date of 2099-12-31. When you renew your support agreement, no new perpetual license is sent to you, but your Account records in the VMware systems is updated with your new support end date.
