To use Dr.Web for a long period of time, activate a license. You can purchase a license with the product, on the official Doctor Web website or through authorized partners. A license allows to take advantage of all product features during the whole period. Parameters of the license are set in accordance with the software license agreement.
If you want to evaluate the product before purchasing it, you can activate a trial version. It provides you with full functionality of the main components, but the period of validity is considerably restricted.
|
You can activate a trial version for the same computer no more than once a year. |
A trial version is valid for 1 month. For that purpose, no serial number is required and no registration data is requested.
The user rights for Dr.Web are specified in the key file. Key files received during installation or within the product distribution kit are installed automatically.
The key file has the .key extension and contains the following information:
•List of licensed anti-virus components
•Licensed period for the product
•Availability of technical support for the user
•Other restrictions (for example, the number of remote computers allowed for simultaneous anti-virus scan)
|
By default, the key file is located in the Dr.Web installation folder. Dr.Web verifies the file regularly. Do not edit or modify the key file to avoid its corruption.
If no valid key file is found, Dr.Web components are blocked. |
A valid key file for Dr.Web satisfies the following criteria:
•License is not expired.
•Integrity of the key file is not violated.
If any of the conditions is violated, the key file becomes invalid.
It is recommended that you keep the key file until the license or the trial version expires.
