Before making any purchase we strongly recommend you take up the offer to first test drive the software using the trial version using the link found in the download page.
The trial version is identical to the registered version, providing a 55 day trial period in which to fully evaluate the software and during that trial period you are still entitled to the exact same levels of software support as a registered user.
Also make sure you using the latest version of the software as indicated by the version details found in the Help, About dialog.
To continue to use the Zeus IDE software after the end of the trial period requires the purchase of an activation key.
That activation key is perpetual, meaning the key will never expire and will continue to work with the version of Zeus IDE available at the time of purchase.
Registration also provides the user with one year of free software upgrades, which equates to between two or three free upgrades over the year.
We challenge you to crash Zeus and earn a free registration. Read more about this here.

As the Zeus activation key provides between two and three free upgrades, depending on the age of your activation key, you may find that key already works with this latest Zeus release.
Before attempting to run the latest version, it is very important to backup your current Zeus installation using the instructions found here.
However, should you find the activation key does not work with the latest version, then the purchase of a new activation will be required.
