Chapter 4
Product Registration and Licensing
When purchased, Kerio WinRoute Firewall must be registered. WinRoute must be reg-
istered at Kerio Technologies website (http://www.kerio.com/) after the purchase.
So called license key will be generated upon a successful registration(the license.key
file) that to be imported to WinRoute (refer to chapter 4.2). 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 ver-
sion 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. 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 means
that the computer cannot be used as a gateway for the Internet).
Full functionality in WinRoute will be available after a valid license key is imported.
Note: If the license key is lost (e.g. is removed, etc.), it is possible to register the product
again at the Kerio Technologies website and download the key (only the purchase number
of the basic product is required during a repeated registration).
