After installation, you need to register Dr.Web Anti-virus to confirm legitimacy of using the anti-virus and unlock the updating, constant protection and on-demand scanning features.
When you run Dr.Web Anti-virus for the first time, registration starts automatically. You can also launch registration from License Manager by clicking Get New License.
| 1. | If you have a serial number for activation of a license or a demo period for 3 months, on the first step of the registration procedure, click Activate license. |
| 2. | Enter the serial number and click Next. In case you're activating a demo period, go to the step 5. |
| 3. | If you have a previous license, provide either its serial number or the corresponding key file. Select the corresponding option, then enter the serial number or drag the key file to the dotted area (alternatively, click the area to browse to select the key file). |
If you have been a user of Dr.Web Anti-virus in the past and are registering a new license, you are eligible for extension of your new license for another 150 days.

To get demo
If you installed Dr.Web Anti-virus with demonstration purposes, select, click Get demo. You can activate a demo period to evaluate Dr.Web Anti-virus:
| • | For 3 months. For that, register on the website and receive a serial number. |
|
After you complete the questionnaire, a serial number required to activate the demo period for 3 months is sent to the specified email address. |
| • | For 1 month. For that purpose, no serial number is required and no registration data is requested. The corresponding key file will be downloaded and installed automatically. |
To purchase license
If you don't have a serial number, on the first step of the registration procedure, click Purchase license to purchase the license from Doctor Web online store.
It is recommended to keep the key file until it expires. If you re-install the product or install it on several computers, you will be able to use the previously registered license key file.
To install existing key file
| 1. | On the first step of the registration procedure, click Other activation types. |
| 2. | If you already have a key file or a configuration file required to connect to the central protection server, drag it to the dotted area or click to browse to select the file. |
| 3. | To register you license, click Next. Usually, this procedure does not require your active participation. |
Subsequent registration
You may need to reactivate a license or demo period if the key file is lost.
|
When reactivating a license or a demo period you receive the same key file as during the previous registration providing that the validity period is not expired. |
|
A demo period can be reactivated only on the computer where the registration procedure was run. |
The number of requests for a key file receipt is limited. One serial number can be registered not more than 25 times. If more requests are sent, the key file will not be delivered. In this case, to receive a lost key file, contact Technical Support describing your problem in detail, stating your personal data input during the registration and the serial number.
