Step 1. Activating the application

At this step, you can add a key for activating Kaspersky Security.

You can also skip this step and install a key later, after the Application Configuration Wizard finishes and the application launches.

If no key has been added, Kaspersky Security runs in "Administration only" mode without protecting the Microsoft Exchange server. To use Kaspersky Security in full functionality mode, you must add a key.

If you are using the following activation methods, skip this step, because you will be able to activate the application in the application Management Console after the Application Configuration Wizard finishes:

• You are activating the application with an activation code.
• You are activating the application based on a Commercial (subscription) license.

To activate the application:

1. Click the Add button.
2. In the window that opens, in the File name field, specify the path to the key file that has the .key extension.
3. Click the Open button.

They key is installed as the active key. The active key allows you to use Kaspersky Security for the duration of the license validity period on the terms of the End User License Agreement.

If you have a current key for the DLP Module, you can activate the DLP Module using a key in the application Management Console after completion of the Application Configuration Wizard.

Activating the application when installed in a DAG of Microsoft Exchange servers

If you deploy Kaspersky Security on a DAG of Microsoft Exchange servers, it suffices to install the key just once during application installation on any of the Microsoft Exchange servers within this DAG. Once this is done, the Application Configuration Wizard will automatically detect the installed key during application installation on other Microsoft Exchange servers within this DAG. In this case, you will not have to add the keys on other Microsoft Exchange servers within the DAG.

Special considerations when activating the application for various deployment scenarios

Activation of the application depends on the application deployment scenario:

• The application is used on standalone Microsoft Exchange servers.
  • You must add the Security Server key to each Microsoft Exchange server on which you use the Security Server.
  • You must add the key of the Security Server and DLP Module to each Microsoft Exchange server on which you use the Security Server and DLP Module.
• The application is used on Microsoft Exchange servers within a DAG group.
  • If you are using a Security Server within a DAG group, you must add one Security Server key.
  • If you are using a Security Server and DLP Module in a DAG group, you must add one Security Server key and one DLP Module key, and the keys are applied to the entire DAG group.
• If you use profiles to manage several Security Servers, you must add a single key of the Security Server and a single key of the DLP Module for the profile, and the keys are applied to all Security Servers of the profile.
  • If you are using Security Servers in a profile, you must add one Security Server key.
• If you are using Security Servers and DLP Modules in a profile, you must add one Security Server key and one DLP Module key.
