How automatic billing works
You can configure automatic billing to enable Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage to create, and update daily, the ConnectWise Manage Agreement Additions for Kaspersky security applications. When automatic billing is configured, information about usage of Kaspersky security applications on managed computers is transferred to ConnectWise Manage automatically, allowing faster periodic generation of invoices for your customers.
Automatic billing works according to the following rules:
- Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP runs automated billing daily, so that you have up-to-date usage information in ConnectWise Manage any time you have to generate an invoice for a client.
- Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP creates Agreement Additions for Kaspersky security applications only if these security applications are mapped to the ConnectWise Manage products.
- To get usage information for a particular company, Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP calculates how many of the company's devices use the licenses that are added to the Kaspersky Security Center virtual server / Kaspersky Business Hub company associated with the ConnectWise Manage company. Only unexpired and active commercial keys and subscriptions are counted. Also, Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP calculates how many Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Office 365 mailboxes are protected.
- If you enabled the Bill devices by category feature when mapping Kaspersky security applications and ConnectWise Manage products, different types of devices (Windows servers, Windows workstations, non-Windows devices) are counted separately.
In this case, ConnectWise Manage analyzes the type of client device that uses the Kaspersky license. Data about each Kaspersky security application license used by the device is associated with the ConnectWise Manage product mapped to this Kaspersky security application.
For example, if a client company uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced on 100 devices, where 90 of them are workstations and 10 are servers, Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP does the following:
- Creates an Agreement Addition on 90 devices for the ConnectWise Manage product for workstations.
- Creates an Agreement Addition on 10 devices for the ConnectWise Manage product for servers.
