After several private conversations, it seems like the problem
was with key not with settings.  While kavdaemon wan't work with
that stripped configuration, it wan't work with George's avp.key
also, with any settings.  Avp doesn't tell it's in trial/demo
mode, but doesn't print serial number and expire date too.

Without a key:
                   Registration info:                   
                   Evaluation copy                  
KAV Key is not loaded or your KAV license was expiried. Program can work only as demo.
Continue scan process? (Yes/No)

With a key from George:
                   Registration info:                   
Key name      Ser. number            Price pos.             Exp. date  Trial 
Antiviral databases have been loaded. Known records: 48888.

With a known-to-be valid key:
                   Registration info:                   
Key name      Ser. number            Price pos.             Exp. date  Trial 
AvpUnix.key   XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXX   AVP Server Suite 2Y    28.1.2004  No 
Antiviral databases have been loaded. Known records: 48888.

Note that the registration info line is missing.

And with that George's key, kavdaemon (and kavscanner) wan't detect
any viruses in mail and/or archives, i.e. it works pretty like in
demo mode.

This looks like yet another Kaspersky's programmers's fault to me.
No error reporting, that is.  Well, I'm not surprized at all... ;)

Regards,
 Michael.
