During the installation of the Dr.Web ESS anti-virus you will be asked to provide files containing the Server key and the key for workstations (read p. Installing the Dr.Web Enterprise Server; for more information on key files read p. Key Files). Once your keys expire, some components of the program will not operate. To restore the full functionality of the Dr.Web ESS anti-virus, you should obtain and import new key files.
There are two ways to install new key files which depend on whether the ID parameter in the new key file is the same as the previous key file. Open both key files (enterprise.key) with a text editor, find the [Enterprise] section and compare the values in the ID1 parameter.
|
The key file has a write-protected format using a digital signature. Editing the key file makes it invalid. To avoid this, do not modify the key file and/or save it when closing the text editor.
If the Agent with an active self-protection is installed on Sever computer, you must disable Dr.Web SelfPROtect component in the Agent settings before replacing a key files. |
