Activating the DLP Module

DLP Module activation enables the security officer to use the full functionality of the DLP Module and manage Data Leak Prevention.

The DLP Module can be activated after activating Security Server. The DLP Module key validity period may not exceed the Security Server key validity period.

To activate the DLP Module:

Open Management Console.
In the Management Console tree of nodes, select the Licensing node of the relevant server.
In the Active key of DLP Module section, click the Add button.
In the window that opens, specify the path to the key file (a file with the .key extension) and click the Open button.

The application adds the DLP Module key corresponding to the license.

The appearance of the Active key of DLP Module section changes. The section displays the following information:

Key status. Details of the active DLP Module key.
Key. A unique alphanumeric sequence required to receive technical support from Kaspersky Lab.
License type. Trial or commercial.
Representative. Name of the representative of the company that executed the agreement to purchase the application.
Number of users. The maximum number of company employees with access to management of Data Leak Prevention.
Expiration date. DLP Module license expiration date.

Information on the DLP Module license is displayed in the Control Center node on all servers.

Application functionality is limited when the DLP Module license expires. The application stops scanning files in real time as they are uploaded to SharePoint, creating new incidents, and searching for data belonging to specific categories. The security officer can view information about previously created incidents, create categories, policies and reports. After the Security Server license has expired, the application stops updating DLP Module databases.
