Rights to use the Dr.Web ESS are regulated by the following key files:
1.Server key file - enterprise.key.
2.Workstations key file - agent.key.
|
Key files have a write-protected format based on the mechanism of electronic signature. Editing the file makes it invalid. Therefore it is not recommended to open your key file with a text editor, which may occasionally corrupt it. |
The Dr.Web ESS license parameters and price depend on the number of protected computers, which includes the servers protected by Dr.Web ESS network.
|
Before purchasing a license for a Dr.Web ESS solution you should carefully consider this information and discuss all the details with your local distributor. You should state the exact number of Enterprise Servers to build the anti-virus network with. The number of independent Enterprise Servers (the Servers which do not interact with each other) running the network does not affect the license price (see also p. Installing the Dr.Web Enterprise Server). |
|
Note that Dr.Web ESS is licensed per connection. When calculating the number of licensed needed for the network, count the number or connections between Enterprise Servers. Each connection requires an additional license. Furthermore, an additional license is required for each connection between Enterprise Servers regardless of its type (see p. Building a Network with Several Servers for details), that is a separate license for each connection is required for each Enterprise Server. For example, in case of one connection between two Servers, you need two licenses. |
When purchasing a license for the Dr.Web ESS anti-virus, you receive registration keys or a registration card with a serial number.
License key files are generally sent to users by e-mail, after the product serial number has been registered at the special web site: http://buy.drweb.com/register/ unless otherwise specified in the registration card attached to the product. Visit the web site above, in the form enter your personal data and in the corresponding field type the registration serial number (it is written on the registration card). An archive with key files will be sent to the designated address. Or you will be allowed to download it directly from the web site.
As a rule, key files come in a zip-archive, which contains key files for the Server and for workstations.
Users can receive key files in one of the following ways:
◆by e-mail (usually after registration of the serial number at the web site, see above);
◆with the anti-virus distribution kit if license files were included at kitting;
◆as a file on a separate carrier.
Please keep key files until they expire. They are required during the installation and re-installation of the anti-virus, as well as to restore program components. In case a license key file is lost, you need to complete the registration form at the web site specified above so that you can restore it. Note that you will need to enter the same registration serial number and the same personal data as during the first registration, you can change the e-mail address only. In this case the license key file will be sent to the new address.
To try the Dr.Web ESS anti-virus and familiarize yourself with the software, you can order demo keys. Such key files provide for the full functionality of the main anti-virus components, but have a limited term of use. Demo key files are sent upon request made through the web form at http://download.drweb.com/demo/. Your request for demo keys will be examined and, if approved, an archive with key files will be sent to the designated address.
The use of obtained key files during the installation is described in p. Installing the Dr.Web Enterprise Server below.
The use of key files after the anti-virus network is established is described in p. Replacing Old Key Files with New Ones below.
The number of requests for a key file is limited to 25 times. If more requests are sent, a key file will not be delivered.
