The free energy of the heterotic string is computed in the one-loop approximation. Its infrared and ultraviolet behaviors are carefully analyzed, and their physical meaning is discussed. The properties of the zero-temperature limit are explored, as well as the possibility of a phase transition at a temperature of the order of the Planck mass.
