1.Dr.Web Server does not require a license.
|
The Dr.Web Server UUID, which was stored in the Dr.Web Server license key in the previous versions of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite, is stored in the Dr.Web Server configuration file starting from version 10. •When a new Dr.Web Server is installed, a new UUID is generated. •When Dr.Web Server is upgraded from an earlier version, its UUID is automatically taken from the configuration file of the previous version and written to the configuration file of Dr.Web Server being installed.
When updating a cluster of Dr.Web Servers, the license key is received by the Server which is used for database updates. For other Dr.Web Servers it is necessary to add license keys manually. |
2.License keys only apply for protected stations. You can assign a license either to individual stations or to station groups: in this case, a license key is valid for all stations that inherit it from this group. To assign a key file simultaneously to all stations of the anti-virus network, for which no personal settings of the license key are specified, assign the license key to the Everyone group.
3.A license key file can be set during the installation of Dr.Web Server (see Installation Manual, section Installing Dr.Web Server).
However, Dr.Web Server can be installed without a license key. A license can be added later either locally or received via the inter-server communication.
4.Using the inter-server communication, any number of licenses associated with the keys at this Dr.Web Server can be donated to a neighboring Dr.Web Server for a specified time period.
5.You can use several different licenses, for example with different expiration dates or different sets of anti-virus components for protected stations. Each license key can be assigned to several licensing objects (groups and stations) simultaneously. Several license keys can be simultaneously assigned to one licensing object.
6.Please consider the following when assigning multiple keys to an object:
a)If several keys are assigned to an object, each for a different set of anti-virus components, then the list of components, that can be installed on this object, is defined as those that are enabled by all said keys. For example, if two keys are assigned to a group of stations, one with Anti-spam support and the other without Anti-spam support, then the Anti-spam module cannot be installed on the stations.
b)Licensing terms for an object are determined by all the keys assigned to it. If the keys have different expiration dates, then you need to manually remove or renew a key after it expires. If the expired key imposed limitations on the installation of anti-virus components, please change the licensing settings for the object in the Installable Components section.
c)The number of licenses associated with an object is determined as the sum of licenses in all the keys assigned to this object. Please note, that the licenses can be donated via the inter-server connection to a neighboring Dr.Web Server (see para. 4). In this case, you should subtract the licenses donated to a neighboring Dr.Web Server from the total number of licenses.

License keys are managed using the License Manager. When specifying a license key in the License Manager, all information about this license is saved in the database. |
