Licenses

On the Licenses tab, you can configure settings of licenses propagation between Dr.Web Servers.

Options for the Server that donates licenses

•Automatic renewal period of donated licenses—time period for which licenses are donated from the key on this Server. After this period, the donated licenses are automatically renewed for the same period. Automatic renewal is performed before the expiration of the license propagation period specified in the License Manager at the step 5.
This mechanism provides returning of licenses to the parent Server if the child Server will be turned off and will not be able to return donated licenses.

•License synchronization period—interval for synchronizing information about donating licenses between Servers. Licenses synchronization allows to detect that the number of licenses donated by the parent Server and received by the child Server are not equal. This mechanism allows to detect malfunctions and cases of forgery during licenses donation.

•Period of report sending on license usage—period of report sending by neighbor Servers on usage of donated licenses to the parent Server. The option is specified on the parent Server but is used by the child Server when sending the reports.

•Period of active stations counting for the license report—period for counting the number of active stations for sending the report on license usage. The option is specified on the parent Server but is used by the child Server when sending the reports.

Options for the Server that receives licenses

•On the Licenses tab, specify the Interval for preliminary renewal of accepted licenses—time interval before the expiration of the licenses automatic renewal period, received from a neighbor Server starting from which, this Server requests the preliminary automatic renewal of these licenses.

Using this option depends on the type of connection selected in the Connection options setting in the neighbor Servers configuration (see Setting Connections between Several Dr.Web Servers):

▫For the periodic connection type: if the reconnection period specified in the neighbor settings is greater than Automatic renewal period of donated licenses specified on the Server that donated licenses, when automatic renewal of these licenses will be initiated earlier than the Automatic renewal period of donated licenses expires.

▫For the permanent connection: this option is not used.
