To renew a license for Dr.Web I should send a key file through a renewal web-form. Where do I find this key file?

Dr.Web key file is a special file of the antivirus which specifies what components are licensed to a user and for what term. Being installed, the key file has a .key extension and resides in the Dr.Web installation directory (in MS Windows it is usually C:\Program Files\DrWeb\***.key).

My license for Dr.Web expires in a few days. Should I renew it beforehand or exactly on the day it expires?

You should pay for renewal in advance, but the serial number can be activated any day, even if your current license for Dr.Web did not expire — the Dr.Web registration utility will automatically add the days left till the current key file expiration term.

I wanted to purchase a two-year renewal and have sent my Dr.Web key file via the renewal web-form at http://buy.drweb.com/renew/. I have received an e-mail message with a discount coupon. But when I activated this coupon in the Dr.Web online store I found, that the discount is not 30%, but 18,75%. Why?

The price of a two year license already has a renewal discount. A discount of 30% is given for a one-year license renewal. For two years the discount is 18,75%.
