License

Activating Pyxsoft Antimalware with a license code or a 7-day trial, and what happens when the license is not valid.

Each server needs its own license. The license status is always visible at the top right of the plugin: License valid until …, Trial until … or License not valid.

Activating

When the server has no valid license, the plugin opens on the activation page and asks for the server’s license code. Enter it and click Activate. If this server has not had a trial yet, you can Start 7-day trial instead and try every feature for free.

The trial is registered with the Pyxsoft license server, like a license, so the server must be able to reach portal.pyxsoft.com over HTTPS to start it. If it cannot, the trial is not started and the error says why: try again once the connection works.

Changing the code

To replace the license of a server that already has one — for example after renewing with a new code — go to Settings → License. The section shows the status, the holder, the expiration date and the current code. Type the new code and click Change code.

When the license is not valid

When the license expires or stops being valid, the protection is paused:

  • The real-time scanner stops.
  • The scheduled scans are skipped.

The alert email receives a message when this happens, when the service starts without a valid license, and again every 3 days until it is fixed. The plugin opens on the activation page until a valid code is entered. Files already in quarantine stay there.

As soon as a valid license is entered, the real-time scanner starts again and the next scheduled scan runs as usual.
