Activating the application through Kaspersky Security Center
You can activate the application remotely through Kaspersky Security Center in the following ways:
- Using the Add key task.
This method lets you add a key to a specific computer or to computers that are part of an administration group.
- By distributing a key stored on the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server to the computers.
This method lets you automatically add a key to computers that are already connected to Kaspersky Security Center, and to new computers. To use this method, you need to first add the key to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. For more details about adding keys to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, please refer to Kaspersky Security Center Help.
A trial version is provided for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. The trial version is a special version of Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console designed to familiarize a user with the features of the application. In this version, you can perform actions in a workspace for a period of 30 days. All managed applications are automatically run under a trial license for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console, including Kaspersky Endpoint Security. However, you cannot activate Kaspersky Endpoint Security using its own trial license when the trial license for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console expires. For detailed information about Kaspersky Security Center licensing, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console Help.
The trial version of Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console does not allow you to subsequently switch to a commercial version. Any trial workspace will be automatically deleted with all its contents after the 30-day period expires.
You can monitor the use of licenses in the following ways:
- View the Key usage report for the organization's infrastructure (Monitoring and reporting → Reports).
- View the statuses of computers on the Devices → Managed devices tab. If the application is not activated, the computer will have the
status and the Application is not activated status description.
- View license information in the computer properties.
- View the key properties (Operations → Licensing).
