License Activation

To get access to all functions and components of the application, activate your license. We recommend that you activate your license right after installing the application. It is required for virus databases to update and application components to operate, for example, real-time file system protection, protection from network threats, and web traffic scan.

When you run Dr.Web for the first time, activation starts automatically. You can also activate your license in the License section of the main application window. You can activate your license using a key file, a serial number, or a configuration file (.cfg).
