Activation Codes

Using the standard activation code (AC) activates ScanMail security risk scan and attachment blocking. You will receive scan engine and pattern file updates and be able to run scans in real time, manually, and according to schedules. ScanMail detects infected attachments and takes actions against them.

Standard activation code features

Maintenance Agreement	Standard Features
Evaluation	Using the evaluation AC allows you to implement all ScanMail functions for a limited duration. During the evaluation period, ScanMail performs security risk scan and attachment blocking as well as scan engine and pattern file updates.
Fully licensed	A fully licensed AC entitles you to standard maintenance agreement and allows you to implement all ScanMail functions except spam prevention, content filtering, and the End User Quarantine tool. ScanMail warns you when your license agreement is close to expiration.

Using the suite activation code (AC) activates all the functions of the ScanMail Standard AC plus content filtering, spam prevention, and End User Quarantine functions. In addition to scan engine and pattern file updates, you also receive spam engine and spam pattern file updates. Content filtering screens out undesirable content from email messages arriving at the Exchange server. The spam engine and spam pattern file work to prevent the delivery of spam messages to Exchange client mailboxes.

Evaluation

Using the evaluation activation code allows you to use ScanMail functions for a limited duration. During the evaluation period, ScanMail performs security risk scan, attachment blocking, content filtering, spam prevention, End User Quarantine, and Web reputation functions, as well as scan engine and pattern file updates.

Once such a code expires, you cannot reuse it. The expiring code disables any rules or other configuration settings that were created while it was in use. The expiration of one activation code does not affect another. For instance, if you are evaluating a product that has separate licensing for spam prevention, expiration of one license does not affect the other.

Fully licensed

A fully licensed AC entitles you to standard maintenance agreement and allows you to implement the full functions of ScanMail. ScanMail warns you when your license agreement is close to expiration.

When a full-version activation code expires, you can no longer download engine or pattern file updates. However, unlike an evaluation-version activation code, when a full-version activation code expires, all existing configurations and other settings remain in force. This provision maintains a level of protection in case you accidentally allow your license to expire.

Activation Codes

ScanMail has two types of activation code (AC): standard and suite. Both of these have two types of maintenance agreements: evaluation and full. When you register ScanMail, you receive one AC depending on whether you chose Standard or Suite and the evaluation or fully licensed version.

For example: You choose ScanMail Suite and decide to install the evaluation version. You download ScanMail Suite, register, and receive a suite evaluation AC. When you provide the AC, ScanMail suite evaluation service begins.
