Information for Windows Vista users<br />
Product information<br />
On Windows XP, many users work with administrator rights. However, this is not desirable<br />
from the point of view of security because it is then easy for viruses and unwanted<br />
programs to infiltrate computers.<br />
For this reason, Microsoft is introducing the "<strong>User</strong> Account Control" with Windows Vista.<br />
This offers more protection for users who are logged in as administrators: thus in Windows<br />
Vista, one administrator only has the privileges of a normal user at first. Actions for which<br />
administrator rights are required are clearly marked in Windows Vista with an information<br />
icon. In addition, the user must explicitly confirm the required action. Privileges are only<br />
increased and the administrative task performed by the operating system after this<br />
permission has been obtained.<br />
The Avira product requires administrator rights for some actions in Windows Vista. These<br />
actions are marked with the following symbol: . If this symbol also appears on a button,<br />
administrator rights are required to carry out this action. If your current user account does<br />
not have administrator rights, the Windows Vista dialog of the <strong>User</strong> Account Control asks<br />
you to enter the administrator password. If you do not have an administrator password,<br />
you cannot carry out this action.<br />
2.3 Licensing and Upgrade<br />
In order to be able to use your Avira product, you require a license. You thereby accept the<br />
license terms.<br />
The license is issued via a digital license code in the form of the file hbedv.key. This digital<br />
license code is the key to your personal license. It contains exact details of which<br />
programs are licensed to you and for what period of time. A digital license code can<br />
therefore also contain the license for more than one product.<br />
If you purchased your Avira product on the Internet, or via a program CD/DVD, the digital<br />
license code is sent to you by email. You can load the license key during installation of the<br />
program or install it later in License Manager.<br />
Note<br />
If your Avira product is managed under AMC, your administrator will execute the<br />
upgrade. You will be asked to save your data and reboot your computer,<br />
otherwise you are not protected.<br />
