Downloads of Zerene Stacker are a 30-day free trial for new users, and the initial download or free update for licensed users.
There is really only one version of the software. With no license key installed, it runs in time-limited trial mode. Installing a license key unlocks features for unlimited use.
Note: Due to its relatively small distribution, Zerene Stacker is sometimes identified by malware protection software as “untrusted”. We have also seen a few false-positive indications where a Zerene Stacker installer was erroneously identified as containing some sort of malware. If you have any difficulties with installation, or any security concerns about the installers, please see How To Validate A Download and/or contact support@zerenesystems.com for help.
