About application activation via Kaspersky Security Center

If you manage Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server via Kaspersky Security Center, you can use a key to activate the application. Kaspersky Security Center lets you automatically distribute keys to managed devices. You can use a key file or activation code to add a Security Server key for Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server to the storage of the relevant Administration Server. You can use the functionality that automatically distributes the key to managed devices in the key properties, both when you add the key to the Administration Server storage and at any other time.

For more details on the specifics of managing Kaspersky Lab application keys via Kaspersky Security Center, see the Kaspersky Security Center Administrator's Guide.

The automatically distributed key is added as the active key on servers with Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server connected to the current Administration Server, which do not have an active key or whose licenses have expired.

If the license is about to expire and an additional key is missing, the key is added as an additional key. The application automatically switches to using this key when the active key expires. You cannot distribute a key that was added as an additional key using an activation code.

When new servers with Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server are connected to the Administration Server, the key is applied to them automatically.

If the automatically distributed key is added to at least one SharePoint farm server, Kaspersky Security will use this key as an active key for all SharePoint farm servers.

When the automatically distributed key is removed from the Administration Server storage, the Security Server to which the key was automatically distributed continues to use the key. In this case, the key can be managed and its details viewed only via the interface of Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server.

Automatic distribution is available for Security Server keys only. The DLP Module key has to be added via the interface of Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server.

The scenario of key distribution to servers with Kaspersky Security for SharePoint Server using the key distribution task is not supported.
