Licenses

On the Licenses tab, you can configure settings of licenses propagation between Dr.Web Servers and also options for reports on license usage.

Options for notification on limitation on a number of licenses in the license key

•Number of remaining licenses—maximal number of remaining licenses for which the Limitation on a number of licenses in the license key notification will be sent.

•Percentage of remaining licenses—maximal percentage of remaining licenses for which the Limitation on a number of licenses in the license key notification will be sent.

Options for the report on license usage

•Period of report creation—period of reports creation by Dr.Web Server on license keys it uses.

If a report on license usage is created by a child Dr.Web Server, then after it is created, this report is sent to the main Dr.Web Server.

Created reports are additionally sent at each connection (including restart) of Dr.Web Server, and also at changing the number of donated licenses at the main Dr.Web Server.

•Period of active stations counting—period for counting the number of active stations for creating the report on licenses usage. The 0 value prescribes to count all stations in the report not depending on their activity status.

Options for Dr.Web Server that donates licenses

•Automatic renewal period of donated licenses—time period for which licenses are donated from the key on this Dr.Web Server. After this period, the donated licenses are automatically renewed for the same period. Automatic renewal is performed before the expiration of the license propagation period specified in the License Manager at step 5.
This mechanism provides returning of licenses to the parent Dr.Web Server if the child Dr.Web Server will be turned off and will not be able to return donated licenses.

•License synchronization period—interval for synchronizing information about donating licenses between Dr.Web Servers. Licenses synchronization allows to detect that the number of licenses donated by the parent Dr.Web Server and received by the child Dr.Web Server are not equal. This mechanism allows to detect malfunctions and cases of forgery during licenses donation.

Options for the Dr.Web Server that receives licenses

•On the Licenses tab, specify the Interval for preliminary renewal of accepted licenses—time interval before the expiration of the licenses automatic renewal period, received from a neighbor Dr.Web Server starting from which, this Dr.Web Server requests the preliminary automatic renewal of these licenses.

Using this option depends on the type of connection selected in the Connection options setting in the neighbor Dr.Web Servers configuration (see Setting Connections between Several Dr.Web Servers):

▫For the periodic connection type: if the reconnection period specified in the neighbor settings is greater than Automatic renewal period of donated licenses specified on the Dr.Web Server that donated licenses, when automatic renewal of these licenses will be initiated earlier than the Automatic renewal period of donated licenses expires.

▫For the permanent connection: this option is not used.
