License Key File

The license key has the .key extension and contains, among other, the following information:

•Licensed period for the product

•List of components the user is allowed to use

•Possibility to use the license on mail servers

•Users number limitation for the license

A valid license key file satisfies the following criteria:

•License period has started and is not expired

•The license applies to all components of the product

•Integrity of the license key file is not violated

If any of the conditions is violated, the license key file becomes invalid, Dr.Web for Kerio MailServer stops detecting the malicious programs. If the key file became invalid during the operation of Kerio mail server then the server stops delivering the emails to the recipients. The delivery without check for viruses can be restored by disabling the use of Dr.Web for Kerio MailServer. For restoration of the mail anti-virus check the correct key file is required.

License violation is registered in the Windows Event Log and in the text log of plug-in.
