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 hard drive breakdown or

by an accidental removal, etc.), you can simply use the basic product’s purchase number to

recover the license. The same method can be used also for change of the ﬁrewall’s operating

system (Windows / Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance) — the license keys cannot

be used across diﬀerent operating systems. If the license number gets lost, contact the Kerio

Technologies sales department.
