4.7. Managing the license keys
The opportunity to use Kaspersky Anti-Spam is determined by the availability of
a license key. The key is included into the product package and entitles you to
use the application since the date of key purchase and installation.
Kaspersky Anti-Spam DOES NOT FUNCTION without a license key! All
e-mail messages will be transmitted without filtering.
A license key contains all necessary information pertaining to the license that you
have purchased, such as license type, its expiry date, information about
distributors, etc.
In addition to the right to use the application during the licensed period, you
receive the following benefits:
• Technical support available 24 hours a day.
• Updates to the content filtration databases made available every 20
minutes.
After the license expires, the functionality of the application will still be preserved
except for the possibility to update content filtration databases. You will still be
able to filter spam, but you will be unable to use the databases issued after your
license expiration date. Consequently, you may be unable to filter new spam
types efficiently.
Therefore, it is essential to renew your license to use Kaspersky Anti-Spam in a
timely manner. You can also install a backup key, which the application will start
using as soon as the current key expires.
