Managing Kaspersky Endpoint Agent activation

You can activate Kaspersky Endpoint Agent in one of the following ways:

• During the application installation:
  • By specifying the key file at a certain step of the Installation Wizard.
  • By placing the key file in the same folder with the endpointagent.msi file before starting the application installation in the quiet mode (including remote installation).
  • By specifying the path to the key file using the LICENSEKEYPATH parameter when installing the application in the quiet mode (including remote installation).

    If there are several key files in the folder, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent will be activated using the key file with the latest license expiration date.

    If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent installer does not detect a key file suitable for Kaspersky Endpoint Agent activation, the application will be installed without activation.

  When you update Kaspersky Endpoint Agent, the current license is automatically applied to Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.13. The license term remains unchanged. When updating the application with an expired license, the new application version works in limited functionality mode after installation.

  If the license for the updated version has expired, you can add the license key during the update. The key file can be passed using one of the specified methods.

• After the application installation:
  • Using the Application activation task in Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
  • Using the command line locally on the device.

You can use Kaspersky Security Center as a proxy server for Kaspersky Endpoint Agent activation.

You can view information about the current license in Kaspersky Security Center in the Kaspersky licenses section, in the device properties or using the command line.

For detailed information on managing keys using Kaspersky Security Center, refer to Kaspersky Security Center Help.

After the license expires, the application continues to work in limited functionality mode.
