License Key File

Top  Previous  Next

The license type is determined by a special file called the license key file. The license key file contains the following information:

Duration of the application license

List of components a user is allowed to use

Other restrictions (for example, the number of users allowed to use the app)

A license for Dr.Web file satisfies the following criteria:

License is not expired

All application components required by the product are licensed

Integrity of the license is not violated

If any of the conditions is violated, the license becomes invalid and Dr.Web stops detecting and neutralizing threats.

The license key file has the .key extension and it can be received during the license activation procedure at first launch of Dr.Web via the License Manager.

The parameters of the license key file which specify the user’s rights are set in accordance with the License agreement. The file also contains information on the user and seller of the app.

It is recommended that you keep the license key file until the license or demo period expires.

Note

A license key file for a demo period activation can be used only on the computer where the activation procedure was run.
