Activating the application with a key for a Security Server and DLP Module

If Kaspersky Security is installed in a configuration with a DAG, you only need to add one Security Server key and one DLP Module key for all servers of the entire DAG. You can add keys by connecting the Management Console to any server within the DAG.

Prepare a key file prior to activating the application. If you have only an activation code for a trial or commercial license, you can generate a key file based on the activation code. To generate a key file based on an activation code, you can use the Kaspersky Lab website at https://activation.kaspersky.com/.

To add a key:

1. Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
   • If you want to add a key for a Security Server and DLP Module, open the node of the Security Server for which you want to add a key.
   • If you want to add a Security Server and DLP Module key for a profile:
     1. Open the Profiles node.
     2. Open the node of the profile for which you want to add the key.
2. Select the Licensing node.
3. In the workspace, perform one of the following actions:
   • To add an active key for a Security Server:
     1. Click the Add button in the Active key section.

        This opens the Add license window.

     2. In the Add license window that opens, in the Select key file section, click the Add button.
   • To add the additional key of the Security Server, click on the Add button in the Additional key section.

     An additional key for a Security Server can be added only if the active key of the Security Server is available. Only a commercial license key can be installed as the additional key. A trial license key cannot be installed as the additional key.

   • To add the active key of the DLP Module, click on the Add button in the Active key of DLP Module section.

     A DLP Module key may be added only if the active key of the Security Server is available.

   • To add the additional key of the DLP Module, click on the Add button in the Additional key of DLP Module section.

     An additional key for a DLP Module can be added only if the active key of the DLP Module is available. Only a commercial license key can be installed as the additional key. A trial license key cannot be installed as the additional key.

4. In the displayed File name dialog specify path to the key file (file with the .key extension) and click Open.
5. If you are adding an active key for a Security Server, click the Next button.

The key will be added, and its information will appear in the section corresponding to the key type.
