Licensing

User rights are regulated by the license purchased on the Doctor Web website or through authorized partners. The license allows you to take advantage of all product features during the whole period. User rights are set in accordance with the License agreement , the conditions of which 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 trial version. All product features and components are available during the demo period. It is possible to activate a trial version on the same computer once a year only. A special key file is generated during the activation.

Note

A trial version cannot be activated and used on Windows XP.
