Viewing the license key usage report

Key usage report in the Administration Console

To view the license key usage report in the Administration Console:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the workspace of the Administration Server <Server name> node, open the Reports tab and select the License key usage report template.

A report generated from the "Key usage report" template appears in the workspace.

The chart in the upper part of the window, shows the following key usage details for each license key:

• Number of licensing units on which the key is already in use
• Number of licensing units on which the key can be used according to the licensing restrictions
• Number of licensing units by which the licensing limit for the key is exceeded

The key usage report consists of two tables:

• The summary table contains information about the keys in use
• The detailed information table contains information about SVMs on which keys have been added, or about protected virtual machines with which the key is used

You can customize display of the columns for each table. For details on how to add or remove columns in the report tables please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.

The summary table contains the following information about the keys in use:

• License key – a unique alphanumeric sequence.
• Used as active – depends on the type of active key:
  • For a server or desktop key – the number of protected virtual machines on which the key is used as the active key.
  • For a key with a limitation on the number of processor cores – the maximum number of physical processor cores used on all hypervisors on which SVMs are deployed.
  • For a key with a limitation on the number of processors – the number of physical processors used on all hypervisors on which SVMs are deployed.
• Used as reserve – the number of SVMs on which the key is added as a reserve key.
• Restriction – depends on the key type:
  • For a server key – maximum number of virtual machines running server operating systems that you can protect.
  • For a desktop key – maximum number of virtual machines running desktop operating systems that you can protect.
  • For a key with a limitation on the number of processor cores, this is the maximum number of physical processor cores used on all hypervisors whose virtual machines you can protect.
  • For a key with a limitation on the number of processors, this is the maximum number of physical processors used on all hypervisors whose virtual machines you can protect.
  • For a "Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business – Universal" key, this is the maximum number of virtual machines running a server and/or desktop operating system that you can protect.
  • For an EDR Optimum key, this is the maximum number of virtual machines that use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum functionality.
• The earliest license expiration date is the date of expiration of your right to use the application activated by adding this key.
• License key valid until – the key expiration date. You can activate the application by adding this key and use this application only before this expiration date.
• Additional properties – additional key properties.
• Service info – service information relating to the key and license. By default, this field is not displayed in the table; if necessary, you can add it. See the Kaspersky Security Center help on how to add or remove fields in the report tables.

  The row below contains the following consolidated information:

  • License keys – total number of keys in use.
  • License keys used up by more than 90% – total number of keys that have been used up by more than 90% of their license restrictions. For example, the restriction is 100 virtual machines. A key is used on two SVMs: the first one protects 42 virtual machines and the second one protects 53 virtual machines. The key is therefore 95% used and is included in the number of keys specified in this field.
  • License keys with exceeded restriction – total number of keys that have exceeded a license limit, such as a limit imposed on the number of simultaneously running virtual machines with server operating systems or a limit on the number of physical processors used on all hypervisors (depending on the key type).

If both a server key and a desktop key have been added on an SVM, the summary table displays the details of these keys and the following information about the combination of the server key and desktop key:

• License key – unique combination of a server key and a desktop key. You can use the combination of a server key and desktop key to search for information about the SVM on which these keys have been added (for more details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help).
• License expiration date – the later of the following two dates: the end date of application usage under the server key, or the end date of application usage under the desktop key.
• License key valid until – the later of the following two key expiration dates: server key expiration date or desktop key expiration date.
• Restriction – the sum of the following values: the maximum number of simultaneously running virtual machines with desktop operating systems plus the maximum number of simultaneously running virtual machines with server operating systems that you can protect with the application.

Depending on the key type, the detailed information table shows information about the SVM on which the key has been added (for a key with a limitation on the number of processors or processor cores), or information about the protected virtual machine with which the key is used (for a server or desktop key):

• Virtual Administration Server – the name of the virtual Administration Server that manages the SVM or the protected virtual machine.
• Group – the administration group to which the SVM or protected virtual machine belongs.
• Device – the name of the SVM or protected virtual machine.
• Application – the name of the Kaspersky Security application component installed on the SVM or the protected virtual machine.
• Version number – version number of the application.
• Active license key – the key that has been added as an active key.
• Reserve license key – the key that has been added as a reserve key.
• License valid until – the expiration date for using the application with this key.
• IP address – the IP address of an SVM or protected virtual machine on which the key has been added.
• Last visible on the network – the date and time when the SVM or protected virtual machine was last visible on the corporate LAN.
• Last connection date – date and time of the last connection of the SVM or protected virtual machine to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
• NetBIOS name – the name of the SVM or protected virtual machine.
• Windows domain – the domain to which the SVM or the protected virtual machine belongs.
• DNS name – the DNS name of the SVM or protected virtual machine.
• DNS domain – the DNS domain to which the SVM or protected virtual machine belongs (specified only if the name of the SVM or virtual machine contains the name of the DNS domain).
• Subscription pending – information about whether an application subscription is pending.

Key usage report in the Web Console

To view the license key usage report in the Web Console:

1. Start the Web Console.
2. In the Monitoring and Reports section, select Reports.

   A list of report templates opens.

4. Click the View report button.

A window with a report generated based on the "License key usage report" template opens.

The key usage report contains two tabs:

• The Summary tab contains information about the license keys being used, including a diagram showing the following usage information for each key:
  • Number of licensing units by which the licensing limit for the key is exceeded
  • Number of licensing units on which the key can be used according to the licensing restrictions
  • Number of licensing units on which the key is already in use
• The Details tab contains information about SVMs on which the keys have been added, or about protected virtual machines with which the key is used.

You can customize the displayed columns in tables on the report tabs. For details on how to add or remove columns in the report tables please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.
