If you have the Corporate or Professional edition of Enterprise Architect, you can purchase and install the MDG Technology for Zachman Framework separately; once you have entered the registration key for the MDG Technology for Zachman Framework, it is automatically available in and integrated with Enterprise Architect, as for the Unified and Ultimate editions.
