After its initial launch, Dr.Web establishes a network connection with the server from which it is receiving a license. Depending on the quality of the Internet connection and the performance of your device, this process may take about one minute. Just connect your device to the Internet and wait until the message saying that your license was not found disappears.

Update your browser and try to download the file again, or rename the file, replacing the zip extension with the apk extension.
