Activating the application using an activation code

If you activate the application using an activation code, you must take into account the special considerations for application activation:

• If you used an activation code to activate the application on a Security Server, you cannot add a reserve key. You can add a reserve key only if you used a key file to activate the application for a Security Server.
• You can replace the activation code with a key file at the Kaspersky website https://keyfile.kaspersky.com/.

To activate the application with an activation code:

1. In the Management Console tree, perform one of the following actions:
   • If you want to use an activation code to activate the application for a Security Server, open the node of the Security Server for which you want to activate the application.
   • If you want to use an activation code to activate the application for Security Servers of a profile:
     1. Open the Profiles node.
     2. Open the node of the profile for which you want to activate the application.
2. Select the Licensing node.
3. To activate a Security Server using an activation code, click the Add button in the Active key section.
4. In the window that opens, select the Enter activation code option.
5. Enter the activation code in the text input fields and click Next.

   If you use an activation code to activate the application, you must ensure continuous Internet access for the Security Server and for the server on which the Management Console is installed.

6. The application will send an activation request to the Kaspersky activation server. The application will notify you if the activation request is successfully completed.
7. Click Add to add a license key.

The window of the Licensing node in the Active key section displays information about the added key.
