## 4.1 License types and number of users

### License types (optional components)

WinRoute can optionally include the following components: McAfee antivirus (refer to chapter 13 Antivirus control) or/and the Kerio Web Filter module for web pages rating (see chapter 12.3 Content Rating System (Kerio Web Filter)). 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 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.

McAfee license

  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.

  - plug-in expiration date— specifies the date by which the McAfee antivirus stops functioning and cannot be used anymore.

  ### Warning

  Owing to persistent incidence of new virus infections we recommend you to use always the most recent antivirus versions.

Kerio Web Filter subscriptions

  Kerio Web Filter module is provided as a service. License is defined only by an expiration date which specifies when this module 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.

### Deciding on a number of users (licenses)

WinRoute's license key includes information about maximal number of users allowed to use the product. In accordance with the licensing policy, number of users is number of hosts protected by WinRoute, i.e. sum of the following items:

- All hosts in the local network (workstations and servers),

- all possible VPN clients connecting from the Internet to the local network.

The host where WinRoute is installed in not included in the total number of users.

### Warning

If the maximal number of licensed users is exceeded, WinRoute may block traffic of some hosts!
