4.5  Subscription / Update Expiration

WinRoute automatically alerts the administrator in case the WinRoute license's expiration date, the expiration of the McAfee antivirus or of Kerio Web Filter and/or expiration of the update rights (so called subscription) for WinRoute or the McAfee antivirus is coming soon. These alert only inform the administrator that they should prolong the subscription of WinRoute or renew the corresponding license.

Administrators are informed in two ways:

Note: WinRoute administrators can also set posting of license or subscription expiration alerts by email or SMS (see chapter 19.4  Alerts).

Bubble alerts

Seven days before the date, WinRoute Engine Monitor starts to display the information about number of days remaining to the subscription/license expiration several times a day (in regular intervals).

This information is displayed until WinRoute or any of its components stops functioning or WinRoute or McAfee subscription expires. The information is also stopped being displayed immediately after the registration of the subscription or a license of a particular component (for details, see chapter 4.3  Registration of the product in the Administration Console).

Notices in the Administration Console

Starting 30 days ago a subscription expiration, a warning informing about number of the days left to the expiration or informing that the subscription has already expired is displayed upon each login. The warning also contains a link to the Kerio Technologies website where you can find detailed subscription information as well as order subscription for an upcoming period.

The warning stops being displayed when a license number of a new subscription is registered (refer to chapter 4.3  Registration of the product in the Administration Console).
