Licensing

User rights are regulated by the license purchased on the Doctor Web website or through authorized partners. The license allows to take advantage of all product features during the whole period. User rights are set in accordance with the License agreement, which conditions users accept during the program installation.

A unique serial number corresponds to each license, and a special file that regulates Dr.Web operation in accordance with license parameters is stored on the local computer. This file is called a key file. For details on the key file see the Key file section.

If you want to evaluate the product before purchasing it, you can activate a demo period. All product features and components are available during the demo period. A special key file is generated during the activation of the demo period too. It is possible to activate a demo period on the same computer once a year only.

Note

A demo period cannot be activated and used on Windows XP.
