A license key is a sequence of bits with which you can activate and subsequently use the application in accordance with the terms of the End User License Agreement. A license key is generated by Kaspersky.
To add a key to the application, you must apply a key file or add a key based on an activation code.
After you add a license key to the application, the license key is displayed in the application interface as a unique alphanumeric sequence.
Kaspersky can blacklist a license key in response to violations of the End User License Agreement. If the license key has been blacklisted, you must add another license key to use the application.
A license key may be active or reserve.
An active license key is a license key that is currently being used by the application. A trial or commercial license key can be added as the active key. The application cannot have more than one active license key.
A reserve license key is a license key that entitles the user to use the application but is not currently in use. A reserve license key automatically becomes active when the license associated with the current active license key expires. A reserve license key can be added only if an active license key has already been added.
A license key for a trial license can be added only as the active license key. A license key for a trial license cannot be added as a reserve license key.
A Security Server key is used to activate the application. Depending upon the application deployment scenario to activate the application, add the following keys:
- If the application is being used on standalone Microsoft Exchange servers, you must add a Security Server key on each server.
- If the application is being used on Microsoft Exchange servers that are part of a DAG, you must add one Security Server key. Keys are applied to the entire DAG group.
- If you are using profiles to manage several Security Servers, you must add one Security Server key. Keys are applied to all Security Servers of the profile.
