## 4.4 Product registration at the website

If, by any reason, registration of WinRoute cannot be performed from the Administration Console, it is still possible to register the product at Kerio Technologies website. To open the registration form, use the Support → Register License option in the main menu.

The form is similar to the registration wizard described in chapter 4.3 Registration of the product in the Administration Console. The corresponding license key file is based on the registration form and it is automatically generated upon its completion and confirmation.

In the registration, specify correctly the operating system you will use the license on (Windows or Linux). The license can be used for any platform but the license key is always generated for the particular platform only.

### License key installation

Two methods can be used to install the license key:

- By using the Install license in the Edit menu available in the main toolbar of the administration window (see chapter 3.1 Administration Console - the main window). Click this link to open the standard system dialog for opening of a file.

  If the installation of the license key is completed successfully, the license is activated immediately. Information about the new license is displayed on the Administration Console welcome page.

  This method can also be used for remote installation of the license key (the license key file must be saved on the disk of the host from which the remote installation is performed).

- By copying the license key file to a corresponding directory.

  The license key must be saved in the `license` folder in the WinRoute's installation directory.

  (the typical path is `C:\Program Files\Kerio\WinRoute Firewall\license`)

  It is necessary that the file name (`license.key`) is not changed!

  To activate the license, it is necessary to restart (stop and run again) the WinRoute Firewall Engine.

Note: If possible, it is recommended to register WinRoute from the Administration Console (it is not necessary to restart the WinRoute Firewall Engine).
