Configuration (Windows)
Savapi 2 has two components: Savapi Service and SAVAPI.DLL. You can configure both
using their .INI files.
The Savapi Service initially runs with secure default values. It automatically creates the
file
SAVAPI.INI
.
You can change most of the parameters while Savapi Service is running. A restart is only
necessary for the following parameters:
•
Port number
•
Temporary directory
•
Updates directory
•
License file name
•
Logfile name
If you want to stop Savapi Service:
Start the services applet under
Start\Administrative Tools\Services
Select Savapi Service.
Stop Savapi Service.
Change the parameters.
Restart Savapi Service.
If necessary, restart the program that uses
SAVAPI.DLL
.

Available Entries in SAVAPI.INI
You can change the following parameters of
SAVAPI.INI
:
Port Number
This value indicates the number of the TCP/IP port used for communication between
Savapi Service and SAVAPI.DLL . If this port is already assigned, you can change it. Do not
forget to specify it in
SAVAPIDL.INI
(see
Possible Entry in SAVAPIDL.INI
– Page 32).
Example
PortNumber=18370
Temporary Directory
It specifies the directory to which Savapi Service writes its temporary files. The location is
usually the sub-folder
\temp
of the installation directory. You may, however, use another
location – but ensure there is enough memory space.
Example
TempDirectory=C:\Program Files\Avira GmbH\AntiVir SAVA-
PI\temp\
Please note that you do not normally need to carry out any
special configuration for SAVAPI 2. The default settings
are usually sufficient.
