How to view information about a key in the Kaspersky Security Center key storage in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console
To open the list of license keys added to the Kaspersky Security Center key storage,
in the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select the Operations → Licensing → Kaspersky Licenses.
The list is displayed as a table whose columns present information about the keys.

The table displays the following basic information about the key:
- License name – the name of the license associated with the key and information about this license.
- License Key – a license key, a unique alphanumeric sequence.
- Maximum number of devices – 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/desktop operating system that you can protect.
- License type – trial, commercial, or subscription.
- License term (days) – the number of days remaining for using the solution activated by adding this key. For example,
365 days
. - License expiration date – the date when your right to use the solution activated by adding the current key expires. If the key was added on several SVMs at different times, this field shows the date for the SVM where the solution will expire soonest. If you are using the solution under an unlimited subscription, the field value is
Unlimited
. - License key expiration date – key expiration date. You can activate the solution by adding this key and use the solution only before this expiration date. If you are using the solution under an unlimited subscription, the field value is
Unlimited
. - 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 and for a key with a limitation on the number of processors, this is the number of SVMs on which the key has been added as an active key.
- Used as reserve – the number of SVMs on which the key is added as a reserve key. If you are using the solution under a subscription, the field value is
Unavailable
or 0
.
For a subscription key, the table may also display the following information:
- Type of validity period restriction – if the solution is being used under an unlimited subscription,
Unlimited
is displayed in the field. - Grace period – if the subscription has the "Grace period activated" status, the field shows the number of remaining days during which the solution will continue to perform all of its functions. If the subscription has any other status, the field shows

. - Link to service provider – web address of the service provider with whom the subscription is registered.
- Subscription status – current status of your subscription (
active
, paused
, expired
, canceled
