Kaspersky Security Center licensing options

Expand all | Collapse all

Kaspersky Security Center can work in the following modes:

• Basic functionality of Administration Console

  Kaspersky Security Center works in this mode before the application is activated or after the commercial license expires. Kaspersky Security Center with support of the basic functionality of Administration Console is delivered as a part of Kaspersky applications for protection of corporate networks. You can also download it from Kaspersky website.

• Commercial license

  If you need additional functionality which is not included in the basic functionality of Administration Console, you must purchase a commercial license.

  When adding a license key in the Administration Server properties window, ensure that you add a license key that lets you use Kaspersky Security Center Linux. You can find this information at the Kaspersky website. Each solution webpage contains the list of applications included in this solution. Administration Server may accept unsupported license keys, for example a license key for Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, but such license keys provide no new features in addition to the basic functionality of Administration Console.
