Removing a license key from the repository

You can remove a license key from the Administration Server repository. Note that Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console automatically deletes your workspace after 90 days in the following cases:

• You remove the last license key (active, reserve, or not in use) added manually in the repository.
• The last license key expires.

If your workspace is deleted, you cannot manage the protection of your network by means of Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. You also permanently lose your data from Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. If necessary, you can delete your workspace manually. Otherwise, we recommend that you keep at least one license key in the Administration Server repository.

If you remove a license key and you added a reserve license key earlier, the reserve license key automatically becomes the active license key after the former active key is removed or expired.

When you remove the active license key that is deployed to a managed device, the application will continue working on the managed device.

To remove a license key from the Administration Server repository:

1. Check that Administration Server does not use a license key that you want to remove. If the Administration Server does, you cannot remove the key. To perform the check:
   1. Open the Administration Server properties window:
      1. In the main menu, select a section (except for Marketplace, Console navigation, and Settings), and then at the top of the page, click the Show hierarchy button.
      2. In the navigation pane that opens, hover the mouse cursor over the name of the required Administration Server, and then click the settings icon ().

      Alternately, you can click the Administration Server name, and then, after the name is displayed in the main menu, click it in the main menu to open the server properties window.

   2. In he Administration Server properties window that opens, on the General tab, select the License keys section.
   3. If the required license key is displayed in the section that opens, click the Remove active license key button, and then confirm the operation. After that, the Administration Server does not use the removed license key, but the key remains in the Administration Server repository. If the required license key is not displayed, the Administration Server does not use it.
2. In the main menu, go to Operations → Licensing → Kaspersky licenses.
3. Select the required license key, and then click the Delete button.
4. In the window that appears, select the I understand the risk and want to remove the license key check box. This means that if you remove the last license key, you are aware of the subsequent deletion of the workspace and loss of control over the managed devices. Next, click the Remove button.

As a result, the selected license key is removed from the repository.

You can add a removed license key again or add a new one. If you removed the last license key, you can also add a license key as long as your workspace is not deleted. Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console notifies administrators of the workspace 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day prior to deletion.
