Licensing
Cerberus FTP Server comes in three distinct versions: Personal, Standard, and Professional editions (check out our feature comparison). Commercial use of any version requires buying a license. A single license entitles a user to install Cerberus FTP Server on one machine. One year of free technical support and major and minor upgrades is included with each license.
After purchasing a specific edition of Cerberus FTP Server, users will be emailed a license code that can be used to turn the trial version of Cerberus FTP Server into a fully licensed and functional Personal, Standard, or Professional version. No new installation is necessary. The license code will work with any version of Cerberus released within one year of the purchase date of the license. If the 2 year Service Agreement is purchased, the provided license code will work on any version of Cerberus FTP Server released within 2 years of the license purchase date.
Note: The software itself never expires, just the ability to update to the latest version expires. When your free support period is over you can purchase a new license code if you wish to continue receiving free updates.
