Licensing Concept
You must have a license to use Avira AntiVir UNIX Server and accept the license terms
(see
http://www.avira.com/documents/general/pdf/en/avira_eula_en.pdf
).
There are different license types for using the various functions of Avira AntiVir UNIX
Server:
•
Demo version
•
Full version
•
Convenience Package
The license depends upon the number of users in the network who are to be protected by
AntiVir.
The license is given in a license file named
hbedv.key
. You will receive it by email from
Avira GmbH. It contains certain data, such as the programs you will use and the period of
your license. The same license file may refer to more AntiVir products.
Demo Version
Without a license file, the AntiVir software runs as a demo version. It cannot detect the
viruses and the other unwanted programs, which the licensed version detects. It only
detects test signatures. Therefore, the demo version can only be used to test the features
and operation of the software, as well as the integration with certain processes. It does
not provide any protection against malware. You cannot perform automatic updates, so
you always have to download the current virus definition files and the new versions of
AntiVir scan engine manually from our website.
