We ran into this at work. All our servers are FreeBSD. We're an ISP.
This is lame.

I think it's well know fact that FreeBSD is targetted for servers and
not desktops. Lack of purchases for their desktop applications for
FreeBSD isn't really that surprising, and it's a stupid move because
it'll still affect their other customers.

ZendOptimizer *is* a server application- its a plugin for PHP that
allows you to run scripts that were encoded with ZendGaurd, while also
acting as an opcache.

That being said, there are better options out there (eaccelerator,
apc). Zend is awful at continuing support for their products, so its
better to just ignore them anyways.

Actually ZendOptimizer can work with and slightly improves performance
of the eaccelerator. I think it still doesn't work well with apc.

The question is how can you decode zend encoded files without zend
optimizer? It sucks as an opcache but we need it to support zend
encoded scripts

If I used PHP, I'd give a shit.
