Web demo-versions. Dr.Web demo-keys


What is the difference between Dr.Web demo-version and license version?

The only difference is the term of usage. The Dr.Web developers think that any limitations in functioning of the anti-virus will not let a user gain an authentic view of the program and decide in favor of the Dr.Web Anti-virus.

Can I try Dr.Web before buying it and how can I do it?

Of course, any user wishing to buy the anti-virus program must have an option to try it before buying. Any user can try Dr.Web once in 4 months. The great advantage of the Dr.Web demo-versions is that they are full-functional, i.e. they have no limitations in detecting or curing, except for time of their usage. If you have a computer at home and your operating system is Windows, to try Dr.Web you should simply download the distribution from the Download section of our web-site and register this copy of the program. For this, during the registration, you should have active Internet connection. Follow the registration procedure and select "Get demo key file". A short-term demo key for 30 days will be automatically downloaded and installed in your computer. To try our versions for file and mail servers, Internet gateways and workstations, a user should visit the demo key request page and fill out a sepcial web-form.

I want to try your anti-virus before to buy it. On the demo key request page it is written that demo-keys are generated for corporate users only. But you have no demo key request page for home users. What should I do?

If you want to try a demo version of Dr.Web for Windows, you should only download the distribution kit of the program. During the downloading, a key file will be downloaded into your computer, too. You should neither fill in a demo key request web-form, nor install a key file - everything will be done automatically.

Whom should I contact if I have questions on the program when I try Dr.Web demo-version?

In the "Download" section, on the pages with corresponding distributions, there are files with User manuals. They have detailed information on how to use the Dr.Web Anti-virus. We advise you to read these Manuals. The answer to your questions might already be there. For users of demo versions it will be also useful to read F.A.Q.s pages in the Support section.

I use Dr.Web demo-version now. I sent a support request several days ago and still there is no answer. Why?

To help users of demo versions to operate the program we have a designed F.A.Q.s pages where you can find answers to most of your questions. We do not provide technical support services to users of demo-versions through web-form or via e-mail. Free technical support is given to users of commercial Dr.Web licenses only.

I use Dr.Web demo-version now. Today, when I ran my computer the icon of the spider in the system tray turned red and a message the license expired was displayed. What happened?

It means your demo term has expired. To avoid such messages appearing after every system startup, you should either uninstall the anti-virus or purchase a commercial license and register it.
