-L is a prefix indicating that the command belongs to the group of commands used to manage license keys.
Commands for adding and deleting license keys can be run only if the application is being used in standard mode. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, commands for managing license keys finish with an error. You activate the application as part of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent, and therefore do not need to activate the application separately.
