Hello everyone, I'm running SuSE 9.2, and recently, I've realized antivir won't update any longer, complaining about the licence: Jun 13 10:32:25 linux antivir[7171]: Warning: the file "antivir.vdf" is more than 14 days old Jun 13 10:32:27 linux antivir[7171]: Error: new updates will not work with current license I don't recall the licence being "expirable", but was it? Could someone please shed some light on this issue for me? Thanks!

If you are using the non-commercial trial version, you must renew your license once a year. I have used antivir on some machines for some time, but have switched to clamav in the meantime. It works great, and in some cases it even found infected mails where mcafee let them through!

The version of AntiVir that is bundled in SuSE, comes with a commercial (test) licence. This licence expires after some time (about six months, if memory serves). After the expiration date (which can be found by running 'antivir --version' on the commandline), the scanner will no longer work. If you want to keep on using the software *and* meet the requirements for a private, non-commercial licence, you may apply for one on http://www.free-av.com/ (the registration form can be found on the page under the 'Download' button). Note that you must runmode of the software from 'server' to 'workstation' then, since server licences are not available in this free version. Regards, Arjen

Yes, that can be done in sysconfig. Another error I had was that the files: "hbedv.key", "lic_info.txt" must be written in small letters and not uppercase how I recived in the eMail. Ciao Marco! -- Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. -- unknown Author
