1.In the Dr.Web menu Dr.Web icon, select License. The License Manager opens. Click Activate.

2.In the open window, click Browse to specify the path to the key file.

3.Click OK to close the window and go to the License Manager.

Reactivating license

You may need to reactivate a license if the key file is lost.

Note

When reactivating a license or a trial version, you receive the same key file as during the previous registration providing that the validity period is not expired.

When you reinstall the product or install it on several computers, if the license allows that, reactivation of the key file is not required.

A license key file can be obtained through the License Manager a limited number of times. If that amount has been exceeded, you can confirm the registration of your serial number at https://products.drweb.com/register/ to receive the key file. The key file is sent to the email that was specified during the first registration.
