WinRoute must be registered at Kerio Technologies website (http://www.kerio.com/) after the purchase. Once the product is registered, you will obtain a license key (an encrypted license.key file ) that must be imported into the program. If the key is not imported, WinRoute will behave as a full-featured trial version and its license will be limited by the expiration timeout.
This also implies that the only difference between a trial version and full WinRoute version is whether the registration key has been imported or not. This gives each customer an opportunity to test and try the product in the particular environment during the 30-day period. It is not necessary to re-install nor reconfigure WinRoute to after the registration, only the license key is to be imported into the trial version.
If the trial period has expired, WinRoute will block all network traffic of its host. You will be allowed to access only the Kerio Administration Console in order to import the license key. Full functionality in WinRoute will be available after a valid license key is imported.
WinRoute can optionally include the following plug-ins: McAfee antivirus (refer to chapter 6.6) and/or Cobion Orange Filter content rating system }see chapter 6.3). These modules are licensed individually. License keys consist of the following information:
Basic WinRoute license. Its validity is defined by the two following factors:
update right expiration date — specifies the date by which WinRoute can be updated for free. When this date expires, WinRoute keeps functioning, however, it cannot be updated. The time for updates can be extended by purchasing a subscription.
product expiration date — specifies the date by which WinRoute stops functioning and blocks all TCP/IP traffic at the host where it is installed. If this happens, a new valid license key must be imported or WinRoute must be uninstalled.
This license is defined by the two following dates:
update right expiration date (independent of WinRoute) — when this date expires, the antivirus keeps functioning, however, neither its virus database nor the antivirus can be updated yet.
Warning: Owing to persistent incidence of new virus infections we recommend you to use always the most recent antivirus versions.
plug-in expiration date— specifies the date by which the antivirus stops functioning and cannot be used anymore.
Cobion Orange Filter system is provided as a service. License is defined only by an expiration date which specifies when the Cobion Orange Filter system will be blocked.
Note: Refer to Kerio Technologies Website (http://www.kerio.com/) to get up-to-date information about individual licenses, subscription extensions, etc.
