Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall — the Review March 2nd, 2006
Sunbelt Software has recently released Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall, their new personal computer firewall software package. SKPF is available in full-function mode (paid license) and in a reduced-function free (licensed free for personal and/or non-commercial use) versions. Actually, it is the same program � after the full-function 30-day trial, you can purchase a license key to reactivate the additional functions or if you don’t qualify for the free license.
Why the long name? Sunbelt purchased the existing, respected firewall program Kerio Personal Firewall from Kerio in December.
Sunbelt has reduced the price significantly, too. Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall will be $19.95, which includes 1 year of upgrades, as opposed to the usual $40 for firewall programs. Sunbelt’s web site shows that upgrade subscriptions will be priced at $9.95 per year.
Until March 31st, Sunbelt Software is offering a special introductory price of $14.95, a 25% savings for the license and 1 year of upgrades. Since I have already registered my copy, I know that the License and the Upgrade Subscriptions are two different things. My license expires “Never,” while my upgrade subscription expires next February.
