Understanding Zendesk Theme Licenses

Learn about the trial, standard, and developer licenses for Zendesk themes and their uses.

What are the different theme licenses available in Zendesk?

Zendesk offers three types of theme licenses: trial, standard, and developer. A trial license allows temporary access to a theme for testing. A standard license lets you enable a pre-built theme in your help center without access to the source code. A developer license provides access to the theme code for customization. Note that once a theme is customized, it becomes a custom theme and won't receive updates unless changes are made to a copy. For more information, refer to the originalZendesk help article.
