12.1. Viewing the License Information and Importing the License Key
After purchase, Kerio MailServer must be registered at the Kerio Technologies website (http://www.kerio.com/).Once you register you will obtain a license key (an encrypted file license.key) that must be imported into Kerio MailServer. If you do not import the key, Kerio MailServer will behave as a trial version and its license will expire after 30 days.
This also implies that the only difference between a trial version and a registered version is whether a registration key has been imported or not. This way every customer has the opportunity to test and try the product during the 30-day period and to decide whether or not to purchase it. It is not necessary to re-install Kerio MailServer to register it, not even if it has already expired. The only thing you need is to import your license key into the trial version. All settings will be retained.
If the trial period has already expired the Kerio MailServer Engine will not be available. Then, the license.key file must be copied into the license directory (this can be found in the Kerio MailServer directory) by hand.
