How to generate a key usage report in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console
- In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Monitoring and reports → Reports.
A list of report templates opens.
- Find the License key usage report template in the list and generate the report by clicking on the template name.
The generated license key usage report opens in a separate window.
The license key usage report has two tabs:
- The Summary tab contains a chart with information about the use of keys in accordance with license restrictions and a summary table. The summary table contains information about all used license keys.
- The Details tab contains a table of detailed information. The detailed table contains information about the SVMs to which keys have been added, or about the protected virtual machines the key is being used for.
You can change the amount of displayed report information by configuring the display of table columns in the Edit the license key usage report window. The window opens via the Edit button at the top of the report window. For more information about configuring the appearance of reports, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
How to generate a key usage report in Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console
- In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree, select the Administration Server <server name> node and go to the Reports tab.
A list of report templates opens.
- Find the License key usage report template in the list and generate the report by double-clicking or using the Show report link located to the right of the list of report templates.
The generated license key usage report opens in a separate window.
The license key usage report contains:
- A chart with information about the use of keys in accordance with license restrictions.
- Summary table. The table contains information about all used license keys.
- Detailed table. The table contains information about the SVMs to which keys have been added, or about the protected virtual machines the key is being used for.
You can change the amount of displayed report information by configuring the display of table columns in the Columns window. The window opens via the Configure report columns link located at the top of the report window.
Summary information in the key usage report
The summary table contains the following information:
- 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 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. - 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/desktop operating system that you can protect.
- Earliest license expiration date – the date when your right to use the solution activated by adding the current key expires.
- License key valid until – the 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.
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 final date for use of the solution under the server key, or the final date for use of the solution 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 solution.
Detailed information in the key usage report
Depending on the key type, the detailed 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 the key is being used for (for a server or desktop key):
The detailed table contains the following information:
- 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 solution component installed on the SVM or the protected virtual machine.
- Version number – version number of the Kaspersky Security solution component.
- 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 solution 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 – indicates whether a solution subscription is pending.
- License key valid until – the 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.
