[*] To make a bootable CD from an ISO image, you have to unpack the archive you get after registration (esr3xxx.zip, where 'x' stands for ESR version: 'b' for Basic, 's' for Standard and 'p' for Professional; about 125 megabytes), to get an ISO-9660 image file first (esr.iso, about 150 megabytes). This file is an exact representation of the original media, including the content and the logical format. The most common use of an image file is to write it to a blank CD-R resulting in an identical copy of the original CD including file name and volume label information. You will get more detailed instructions together with the download link. Standard and Professional versions also include a 30-days money-back guarantee.
