With the Full License version, IWSS will be able to update the pattern file, scan engine, URL filtering database, and PhishTrap pattern. With the Trial License version, IWSS will not be able to update any components and perform scanning or cleaning.
After the license expired, IWSS provides a 30-day grace period for users to renew the license for continuous protection.
License Update
- Extends the validity of the license or changes the expiration date of the product.
- IWSS uses the Online License Update (OLU) protocol to contact Online Registration (OLR) and download a new license profile. Several cron jobs (UNIX) or scheduled tasks (Windows) and scheduled PR updates download the license profile with the product update actions. Administrators can also initiate manual license update from the IWSS console.
- The Activation Code (AC) remains unchanged.
License Upgrade
- License Upgrade refers to the replacement of the trial version to a full license version.
- Upgrading the IWSS license requires the users to request a new Activation Code (AC) and to reactivate the product.
License Expiration
