Chapter 4
Product Registration and Licensing
When purchased, Kerio WinRoute Firewall must be registered, Upon registration of the product,
so called license key is generated.(the license.key file — see chapter 25.1 ). 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 means that the trial version differs from the full WinRoute version only in the aspect
whether the license has been registered or not. This gives each customer an opportunity
to test and try the product in the particular environment during the 30-day period. Then,
once the product is purchased, the customer can simply register the installed version by the
purchased license number (see chapter 4.3 ). This means that it is not necessary to uninstall
the trial version and reinstall the product.
Once the 30-day trial period expires, WinRoute cuts the speed of all network traffic of the
computer where it is installed to 4 KB/s. Also, the routing is blocked (which implies that the
WinRoute’s host cannot be used as a gateway for the Internet). Upon registration with a valid
license number (received as a response to purchase of the product), WinRoute is available with
full functionality.
Note: If your license key gets lost for any reason (e.g. after the harddisk breakdown or by an
accidental removal, etc.), you can simply use the basic product’s purchase number to recover
the license. If even this number gets lost, contact the sales department of Kerio Technologies.
4.1 License types and number of users
License types (optional components)
WinRoute can optionally include the following components: McAfee antivirus (refer to chap-
ter 13 ) or/and the ISS OrangeWeb Filter module for web pages rating (see chapter 12.4 ). These
components are licensed individually.
License keys consist of the following information:
WinRoute license
Basic WinRoute license. Its validity is defined by the two following factors:
• update right expiration date — specifies the date by which WinRoute can be up-
dated for free. When this date expires, WinRoute keeps functioning, however, it
cannot be updated. The time for updates can be extended by purchasing a sub-
scription.
• 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.
