Automatic distribution of a license key

Kaspersky Security Center allows automatic distribution of license keys to managed devices if they are located in the license keys repository on the Administration Server.

To distribute a license key to managed devices automatically:

  1. In the main menu, go to OperationsLicensingKaspersky licenses.
  2. Click the name of the license key that you want to distribute to devices automatically.
  3. In the license key properties window that opens, select the Automatically distribute license key to managed devices check box.
  4. Click the Save button.

The license key is automatically distributed to all compatible devices.

License key distribution is performed by means of Network Agent. No license key distribution tasks are created for the application.

During automatic distribution of a license key, the licensing limit on the number of devices is taken into account. The licensing limit is set in the properties of the license key. If the licensing limit is reached, distribution of this license key on devices ceases automatically.

Note that an automatically distributed license key may not be displayed in the virtual Administration Server repository in the following cases:

The virtual Administration Server automatically distributes license keys from its repository and from the repository of the Administration Server. We recommend that you:

If you select the Automatically distribute license key to managed devices check box in the license key properties window, a license key is distributed on your network immediately. If you do not select this option, you can use a task to distribute a license key later.

Automatic distribution of license keys configured on the primary Administration Server does not extend to devices managed by non-virtual secondary Administration Servers.
