Limitations imposed by license keys

This section describes limitations that are imposed on the Kaspersky CyberTrace functionality by license keys of different licensing levels.

Limit on events per second (EPS)

For the Community Edition licensing level, Kaspersky CyberTrace processes no more events per second than permitted by the licensing level.

Several commercial licensing levels have EPS limits specified in the licensing key. Kaspersky CyberTrace limits EPS for these licensing levels in two stages.

At the first stage, if the EPS limit is exceeded at any point in time, Kaspersky CyberTrace displays alerts in Kaspersky CyberTrace Web and generates the KL_ALERT_EPSLimitExceeded event. All events above the EPS limit continue to be processed.

At the second stage, if the EPS limit was continuously exceeded for a period of seven days, the limit takes effect. Kaspersky CyberTrace displays alerts in Kaspersky CyberTrace Web and generates the KL_ALERT_EPSHardLimit event. Kaspersky CyberTrace starts to process events within the limit imposed by the license key. After you change the license key or start to process no more events than are specified in the licensing key, this limitation ceases to apply.

Limit on the number of indicators

If the license key or licensing level sets a limit on the total number of indicators, Kaspersky CyberTrace reads, in total, no more records from all the feeds than are permitted by the license key or licensing level. If a feed is not fully read, the number of loaded indicators is displayed on the dashboard, and a KL_ALERT_FeedLoadedPartially alert message with the feed name is generated.

Limit on the use of custom feeds

If the license key does not allow the use of custom feeds, only Kaspersky Threat Data Feeds can be used. OSINT feeds cannot be used in this case.

Other limitations

The following features can be disabled by the license key or licensing level:
