Renewing License

You can renew the current license using Renewal Wizard on the Doctor Web website .

To renew the current license using License Manager

1.Open Dr.Web menu Dr.Web icon, then select License.

2.In the License Manager window, click Buy. A page on the Doctor Web website where you can renew your license with a discount will open.

Dr.Web supports updating on the fly, thus you do not need to reinstall Dr.Web or interrupt it. To update the license, you need to activate a new license.

Note

After long standby, the window will automatically close and an error message will be displayed.

 

Do not close the activation window before the renewal process is completed. If a window is closed, the license can only be activated with a key file.

If license activation has failed, an error message displays. Check internet connection parameters and click Retry.

To activate a license

1.Open License Manager by selecting License in Dr.Web menu Dr.Web icon. Click Activate.

2.In the open window, click Serial number or Key file. Enter the product serial number or specify the path to the key file. Windows XP users can activate the license using the key file only.

The detailed information on license activation is available in the Activation using serial number and Activation using key file sections.

If the license you want to renew has expired, Dr.Web will start using the new license.

If the license you want to renew is still valid, the number of days remaining will be automatically added to the new license. At the same time, the old license will be blocked, and you will receive a corresponding notification to the email address you provided during registration. It is also recommended that you remove the old license using License Manager.

If you have questions on license renewal, read the FAQ  section on Doctor Web website.
