Activating Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android

In Kaspersky Security Center, the license can cover various groups of features. To ensure that the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app is fully functional, the Kaspersky Security Center license purchased by the organization must support the Mobile Device Management functionality.

For detailed information about licensing options, refer to the About the license section.

Activating the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app on a mobile device is performed by providing valid license information to the app. License information is delivered to the device together with the policy settings as soon as the device is synchronized with Kaspersky Security Center.

If activation of the mobile app is not completed within 30 days from the time of installation on the mobile device, the app is automatically switched to limited functionality mode. In this mode, most of the app components are not operational. When switched to limited functionality mode, the app stops performing automatic synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center. Accordingly, if the app is not activated within 30 days after the installation, the user must synchronize the device with Kaspersky Security Center manually.

If Kaspersky Security Center is not deployed in your organization or is not accessible to mobile devices, users can activate the mobile app on their devices manually.

To activate the mobile app:

  1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
  2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
  3. Click the License button.
  4. In the window that opens, use the drop-down list to select the required license key from the key storage of the Administration Server.

    The details of the license key are displayed in the fields below.

    You can replace the existing activation key on the mobile device if it is different from the one selected in the drop-down list above. To do so, select the Replace with selected key if the key on devices is different check box.

  5. Click Save to save the changes you have made.

The app is activated after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.
