When the evaluation-version Activation Code expires, ScanMail disables both the component updates and all scanning capabilities.
When the full-version Activation Code expires, ScanMail disables security updates and the in-the-cloud scanning capabilities. All existing
configurations and other settings on the local server remain in force. The scan engines
will still scan emails using out-of-date components, which may not be able to protect
you completely from the latest security threats.
In the Product License screen, you can obtain an Activation Code online, view renewal instructions, and
check the status of your product.
