Registration Procedure

Permissions to use Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers are specified in the key file.

License key file contains the following information:

•list of Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers components licensed to the user;

•license period;

•other restrictions (for example, number of protected workstations).

By default, the license key file is located in the directory with Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers executables.

License key file is digitally signed to prevent its editing. Edited key file becomes invalid. It is not recommended to open your key file in text editors in order to avoid its accidental invalidation.

Users who have purchased Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers from Doctor Web certified partners obtain the license key file. Key files contain the following information which depends on the license type. The license key file also contains information on the user and seller of the product.

For evaluation purposes users may also obtain a demo key file. It allows them to enjoy full functionality of the Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers solution, but has a limited term of use, and no technical support is provided.

License key file can be supplied as:

•a drweb32.key file license key for workstations, or as a zip archive containing a license key file in case of purchasing Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers as a standalone product;

•a zip-archive, which contains a key file for Dr.Web Enterprise Server (enterprise.key) and a key file for workstations (agent.key) in case of purchasing Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers as a part of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite.

License key file can be received in one of the following ways:

•by email as a ZIP-archive containing license key file with *.key extension (usually after registration on the website). Extract the license key file using an appropriate archiving utility and copy (or move) it to the directory with Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers executable files (default directory for UNIX systems is %bin_dir);

•within the distribution package;

•on a separate data carrier as a file with *.key extension. In this case, a user must copy it manually to the %bin_dir directory.

License key file is sent to a user via email usually after registration on the website (website location is specified in the registration card supplied with the product). Visit the website, fill in the web form with your customer data and submit your registration serial number (printed on the registration card). After that, your license is activated and a key file is created according to the specified serial number. The key file is sent to the specified email address.

It is recommended to keep the license key file until it expires, and use it to reinstall or restore Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers. If the license key file is damaged or lost, it can be recovered by the same procedure as during license activation. In this case, you must use the same product serial number and customer data that you provided during the registration; only the email address can be changed (in this case, a license key file will be sent to the new email address). If the serial number matches any entry in Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers database, the corresponding key file will be automatically dispatched to the specified email address.

One serial number can be registered no more than 25 times. If you need to recover a lost license key file after its 25th registration, send a request for license key file recovery at http://support.drweb.com/request/ stating the data input during registration, valid email address, and detailed description of your problem. The request will be considered by Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers technical support service engineers. If the request is approved, a license key file will be provided via automatic support system or dispatched via email.

Path to a license key file of the certain component must be specified as a Key parameter value in the corresponding configuration file (drweb32.ini).

Example:

Key = %bin_dir/drweb32.key

If a license key file specified as a Key parameter value failed to be read (wrong path, permission denied) or is expired, blocked or invalid, the corresponding component terminates its operation.

If the license expires in less than two weeks, Dr.Web Scanner outputs a warning message on its startup and Dr.Web Daemon notifies the user via email. Messages are sent on every startup, restart or reload of Dr.Web Daemon for every license key file installed. To enable this option, set up the MailCommand parameter in the [Daemon] section of the drweb32.ini configuration file.

If you want to use a key file from another location, specify the full path to it as a LicenseFile parameter value in the [StandaloneMode] section of the Dr.Web Agent configuration file (see [StandaloneMode] section description).
