Registering a serial number on the website
If your device with the installed application is not connected to the internet, you can use another device connected to the internet to register your serial number. In this case, you will receive a license key file that you will need to copy to the device which you intend to use for license activation.
To register a serial number on the website
1.Go to https://products.drweb.com/register/.
2.Enter the serial number that you received after you purchased Dr.Web.
3.Specify the license owner's registration data.
4.The license key file will be sent as a ZIP archive to the email address you have provided.
The license key file contains user rights for Dr.Web.
The file has the .key extension and contains, among others, the following information:
•licensed period for the application;
•list of components the user is allowed to use;
•other limitations.
A valid license key file meets the following requirements:
•license is not expired;
•license applies to all components of the product;
•license key file is not corrupted.
If any of the conditions are violated, the license key file becomes invalid, and the anti-virus stops detecting and neutralizing malicious programs.
|
The license key file becomes invalid if you edit it. Do not save changes after opening the file in a text editor to prevent your license from being compromised. |
You can activate your license using a key file.
