For this reason, Microsoft is introducing the "User Account Control" with Windows
Vista. This offers more protection for users who are logged in as administrators: thus in
Windows Vista, one administrator only has the privileges of a normal user at first.
Actions for which administrator rights are required are clearly marked in Windows Vista
with an information icon. In addition, the user must explicitly confirm the required
action. Privileges are only increased and the administrative task carried out by the
operating system after this permission has been obtained.
Avira AntiVir Professional requires administrator rights for some actions in Windows
Vista. These actions are marked with the following symbol:
. If this symbol also
appears on a button, administrator rights are required to carry out this action. If your
current user account does not have administrator rights, the Windows Vista dialog of
the User Account Control asks you to enter the administrator password. If you do not
have an administrator password, you cannot carry out this action.
3.3 Licensing and Upgrade
In order to be able to use Avira AntiVir Professional, you require a license. You thereby
accept the license conditions of Avira AntiVir Professional.
The license is issued via a digital license code in the form of the file hbedv.key. This
digital license code is the key to your personal license. It contains exact details of which
programs are licensed to you and for what period of time. A digital license code can
therefore also contain the license for more than one product.
If you purchased AntiVir Professional on the Internet, or via a program Avira AntiVir
Professional CD/DVD, the digital license code is sent to you by email. You can load the
license key during installation of AntiVir Professional or install it later in License
Manager.
3.3.1 License Manager
The Avira AntiVir Professional License Manager enables very simple installation of the
Avira AntiVir Professional license.
