Activating the application through Kaspersky Security Center
You can activate the application remotely through Kaspersky Security Center in the following ways:
- Using the Add key task.
This method lets you add a key to a specific computer or to computers that are part of an administration group.
- By distributing a key stored on the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server to the computers.
This method lets you automatically add a key to computers that are already connected to Kaspersky Security Center, and to new computers. To use this method, you need to first add the key to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. For more details about adding keys to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, please refer to Kaspersky Security Center Help.
- By adding the key to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security installation package.
This method lets you add the key in Installation package properties during Kaspersky Endpoint Security deployment. The application is automatically activated after the installation.
A trial version is provided for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. The trial version is a special version of Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console designed to familiarize a user with the features of the application. In this version, you can perform actions in a workspace for a period of 30 days. All managed applications are automatically run under a trial license for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console, including Kaspersky Endpoint Security. However, you cannot activate Kaspersky Endpoint Security using its own trial license when the trial license for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console expires. For detailed information about Kaspersky Security Center licensing, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console Help.
The trial version of Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console does not allow you to subsequently switch to a commercial version. Any trial workspace will be automatically deleted with all its contents after the 30-day period expires.
You can monitor the use of licenses in the following ways:
- View the Key usage report for the organization's infrastructure (Monitoring and reporting → Reports).
- View the statuses of computers on the Devices → Managed devices tab. If the application is not activated, the computer will have the
Application is not activated status.
- View license information in the computer properties.
- View the key properties (Operations → Licensing).
How to activate the application in the Administration Console (MMC)
- In the Administration Console, go to the folder Administration Server → Tasks.
The list of tasks opens.
- Click the New task button.
The Task Wizard starts. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
Step 1. Selecting task type
Select Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows (12.1) → Add key.
Step 2. Adding a key
Enter an activation code or select a key file.
For more details about adding keys to the Kaspersky Security Center repository, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
Step 3. Selecting the devices to which the task will be assigned
Select the computers on which the task will be performed. The following options are available:
- Assign the task to an administration group. In this case, the task is assigned to computers included in a previously created administration group.
- Select computers detected by the Administration Server in the network: unassigned devices. The specific devices can include devices in administration groups as well as unassigned devices.
- Specify device addresses manually, or import addresses from a list. You can specify NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and IP subnets of devices to which you want to assign the task.
Step 4. Configuring a task start schedule
Configure a schedule for starting a task, for example, manually or when the computer is idle.
Step 5. Defining the task name
Enter a name for the task, such as Activate Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.
Step 6. Completing task creation
Exit the Wizard. If necessary, select the Run the task after the Wizard finishes check box. You can monitor the progress of the task in the task properties. As a result, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will be activated on users' computers in silent mode.
How to activate the application in the Web Console and Cloud Console
- In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.
The list of tasks opens.
- Click the Add button.
The Task Wizard starts. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
Step 1. Configuring general task settings
Configure the general task settings:
- In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows (12.1).
- In the Task type drop-down list, select Add key.
- In the Task name field, enter a brief description, such as Activation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.
- In the Select devices to which the task will be assigned block, select the task scope. Go to the next step.
Step 2. Selecting the devices to which the task will be assigned
Select the computers on which the task will be performed. The following options are available:
- Assign the task to an administration group. In this case, the task is assigned to computers included in a previously created administration group.
- Select computers detected by the Administration Server in the network: unassigned devices. The specific devices can include devices in administration groups as well as unassigned devices.
- Specify device addresses manually, or import addresses from a list. You can specify NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and IP subnets of devices to which you want to assign the task.
Step 3. Selecting a license
Select the license that you want to use to activate the application. Go to the next step.
You can add keys to the Web Console (Operations → Licensing).
Step 4. Completing task creation
Finish the wizard by clicking the Finish button. A new task will be displayed in the list of tasks. To run a task, select the check box opposite the task and click the Start button. As a result, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will be activated on users' computers in silent mode.
In the properties of the Add key task, you can add a reserve key to the computer. A reserve key becomes active when the active key expires or is deleted. The availability of a reserve key lets you avoid application functionality limitations when a license expires.
How to automatically add a license key to computers through the Administration Console (MMC)
- In the Administration Console, go to the folder Administration Server → Kaspersky licenses.
A list of license keys opens.
- Open the license key properties.
- In the General section, select the Automatically distributed license key check box.
- Save your changes.
As a result, the key will be automatically distributed to the appropriate computers. During automatic distribution of a key as an active or a reserve key, the licensing limit on the number of computers (set in the key properties) is taken into account. If the licensing limit is reached, distribution of this key to computers ceases automatically. You can view the number of computers to which the key has been added and other data in the key properties in the Devices section.
