ID 197542

When the license expires, the following limitations will arise in the operation of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent functional components:

  • Execution of jobs received from the Central Node component and transmission of the results to the Central Node component will be stopped.

    The application will send a message to the Central Node component that the activation status of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent has changed.

    The connection to the Central Node component will not be severed. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent will continue to accept jobs for creating tasks and changing settings from the Central Node component, but it will not start these tasks, and also will not enable network isolation and Execution prevention.

  • Telemetry will not be sent.
  • Creation of the threat development chain graph will not be available.
  • Network isolation cannot be enabled.

    If network isolation was enabled when the license expired, the application will disable network isolation in accordance with the specified settings for automatic disabling of network isolation.

  • Execution prevention cannot be enabled.

    If Execution prevention was enabled when the license expired, the application will stop blocking objects that fall under the specified Execution prevention rules.

  • The following tasks will stop and cannot be started: Get file, Run application, Terminate process, Delete file.
  • The Standard IOC Scan tasks will stop and cannot be started.
  • KSN/KPSN usage terminates.

When you try to use the listed application functional components after the license expires, the application will create the critical LicenseViolation event in the Windows event log and in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server log. When working using the command line, the application will return the code 8 (AccessDenied).
