License Key File

The license key has the .key extension and contains, among other, the following information:

•Licensing period.

•List of components the user is allowed to use (e.g. the anti-spam feature can be enabled only in the Anti-Virus&Anti-Spam version).

•other restrictions (e.g. the number of users).

A valid license key file meets the following requirements:

•License is not expired.

•The license applies to all components of the product.

•Integrity of the license key file is not violated.

If any of the conditions is violated, the license key file becomes invalid, Dr.Web stops detecting threats. License violation is registered in the Windows Event Log and in the text log of application.

The key file is write-protected. Editing the key file makes it invalid. We strongly advise you against opening your key file in a word processor to avoid accidental file corruption .
