Concerning to Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 for MIMESweeper SMTP
A key file is your personal “key”. It keeps all Kaspersky Anti-Virus information, such as:
- Distributor's coordinates (the name of the firm and its contact information)
- Information about support (who and where provides it)
- The date of the key release
- The name and number of the license
- Components functionality table
- License validity
There are two kinds of key files:
Commercial key file activates Kaspersky Lab's program products purchased legally for their further usage. When purchasing the product pay attention to its validity period.
Commercial key file is valid during:
- 1 year
- 2 years
- Any period (during Kaspersky Lab special actions)
When the license expires, the product will function, but will not update the anti-virus databases. It will disinfect infected objects using old anti-virus databases. The program will not download updates from the site automatically. Manually downloaded updates will not be used either. Thus Kaspersky Lab cannot guarantee you protection against new types of viruses.
Trial key file is used to try Kaspersky Lab products during a fixed period of time. Trial keys are granted by Kaspersky Lab free.
Trial key file is valid during:
- 15 days
- 30 days
- Other period (according to the arrangement with Kaspersky Lab)
When the trial key expires, the product will not start.
Once received, the key file should be saved on a separate drive (disc, flash, CD) to be restored when needed.
The product will not start without a key file.
To install a key file, copy it to an application setup folder. The key will be “taken” by the program automatically. Concurrently only one key can be used.
To know what key file is installed, right-click the Anti-Virus icon on the system tray > from the context menu run the command Update anti-virus database. License information will be shown in the open dialog window.
To add a new key, locate the current key file, replace with new key file and restart the Mimesweeper service, the new key will activate automatically.
