licence. Navigate to http://www.cyberguard.com/snapgear/my/ and ensure the unit on
which you want to run content filtering is registered; if not, register it now using Quick
product registration. Enter the token in Quick addon activation and associate the
licence with the registered unit.
Your licence key or certificate and private key and now available by clicking List
registered units and options, then clicking the View URL filter data for the appropriate
unit.
Content or Webwasher?
Webwasher is CyberGuard’s next generation of content filtering. In time, the original
content filtering system (Content) will be phased out. Webwasher offers more categories
for rating, and operates significantly faster than the old system.
All new content filtering subscriptions are for the Webwasher service. The old content
filtering system is maintained for backwards compatibility for existing subscribers only.
