Activation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security

You can activate the application remotely from the interface of the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console in the following ways:

• Using the Add key task.

  This method lets you add a key to a specific computer or group of computers.

• By distributing to the computers a key from the key storage of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

  This method lets you automatically add a key to computers that are already connected to Kaspersky Security Center, and to new computers. To use this method, add the key to the key storage of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. For details on adding a key to the key storage of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, refer to Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

To activate the application using the Add key task:

1. In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.

   The table with tasks opens.

2. Click the Add button.

   The Task Wizard starts.

3. Configure the task settings:
   • In the Application drop-down list select Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
   • In the Task type list, select Add key.
   • In the Task name field, enter a task name.
   • In the Devices to which the task will be assigned section, select the task scope.
4. Select devices according to the selected task scope option.
5. Click Next.
6. Finish the wizard by clicking the Create button.

A new task will be displayed in the list of tasks. To run a task, select the check box opposite the task and click the Run button.

To activate the application by distributing a key from the key storage of Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server to computers:

3. Switch on the Distribute key automatically toggle button.

As a result, the key will be automatically distributed to the appropriate computers. During automatic distribution of a key as an active or an additional key, the licensing limit on the number of computers (set in the key properties) is taken into account. If the licensing limit is reached, distribution of this key to computers ceases automatically. You can view the number of computers to which the key has been added and other data in the key properties on the Devices tab.
