The key file defines the license type and user rights for Dr.Web operation.
The license key file has the .key extension. You can receive the file during the license activation.
The key file contains the following information:
•The list of components licensed to the user
•Dr.Web license period
•Availability of technical support for the user
•Other restrictions (for example, the number of computers where Dr.Web can operate).
|
The key file is located in the Dr.Web installation folder. The application regularly verifies the file. To avoid corruption of the key file, do not open it in text editors or try to modify it.
If no valid key file is found, Dr.Web components are blocked. |
A valid key file for Dr.Web satisfies the following criteria:
•License is not expired.
•Integrity of the key file is not violated.
If any of these conditions is violated, the key file gets invalid, and Dr.Web stops detecting and neutralizing malicious software.
Keep the license key file until a license or a trial period expires. If you install Dr.Web on several computers or reinstall it, you can use the same license key file that you received during the first activation.

The key file for a trial period activation can be used only on the computer where the registration procedure was run. |
