These guides are targeted towards system administrators and operations to ensure that Zephyr Enterprise is set up and ready to go for teams to start using our software. Our guides are here to document important information on the operational concerns of Zephyr Enterprise like installing the software, upgrading from previous versions, system configuration changes, user management, customization of roles/test cases/requirements, and both backup and restore options.

Zephyr Enterprise is available for on-premise installation on Windows and Linux (Redhat, Ubuntu, CentOS and Fedora), as well as a hosted SaaS. If you have not already purchased Zephyr Enterprise, see getzephyr.com for more information. To sign up for a webinar, simply go to getzephyr.com and click on the "Get Zephyr" button at the top right of the screen. If you have further questions, feel free to contact Zephyr Sales at sales@getzephyr.com, contact your Sales Account rep, or reach out  at +1 (510) 400-8656.

Once you've obtained the license and Zephyr Enterprise, you're ready to get started! To learn how to administer Zephyr Enterprise, follow the guide to set up your Zephyr Enterprise environment.
