Activating the application

Activation is the process of activating a license that allows you to use a fully functional version of the application until the license expires. The application activation involves adding a license key.

You can activate the application in one of the following ways:

• Locally from the application interface, by using the Activation Wizard You can add both the active key and the reserve key in this way.
• Remotely with the Kaspersky Security Center software suite by creating and then starting an add license key task. You can add both the active key and the reserve key in this way.
• Remotely by distributing key files and activation codes stored in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server key storage to client computers. For more details on distributing keys, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help. You can add both the active key and the reserve key in this way.

  The activation code purchased under subscription is distributed in the first place.

• Using the command line.

It may take some time for the application to be activated with an activation code (during either remote or non-interactive installation) due to load distribution across activation servers of Kaspersky. If you need to activate the application right away, you may interrupt the ongoing activation process and start activation using the Activation Wizard.
