chapter 14) or/and the Kerio Web Filter module for web pages rating (see chapter 13.3). These
components are licensed individually.

Kerio Control license
Kerio Control basic license Its validity is defined by the two following factors:
• Update right expiration date — specifies the date by which Kerio Control can
be updated for free. When this date expires, Kerio Control keeps functioning,
however, it cannot be updated. The time for updates can be extended by
purchasing a subscription.

if a valid license is not installed in 10 minutes, the service is stopped again.

• update right expiration date (independent of Kerio Control) — when this date
expires, the antivirus keeps functioning, however, neither its virus database nor
