ID 264031

In the command line, using the -L --query command, you can view information about the active and reserve license keys added to the application, and about the license under which the application has been activated. If a separate key for activating the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum has been added to the application, information about the active and reserve license keys of EDR Optimum and the EDR Optimum license is also displayed.

To view information about the license keys and license on the device, run the following command:

kesl-control -L --query [--json]

where --json: output data in JSON format. If the --json key is not specified, the settings will be imported in the INI format.

As a result of the command execution, the following information will be displayed in the console:
