Use of two different licenses in one installation of applications from Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security

You can use two keys in one installation of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0, 4.1, 5.0 | Agentless and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.x | Light Agent and distribute them to one or multiple SVMs according to the following rules:

	KSV DT	KSV SRV	KSV CORE	KHCS DT	KHCS SRV	KHCS CPU	KHCS ENT Server	KHCS ENT CPU
KSV DT
KSV SRV
KSV CORE
KHCS DT
KHCS SRV
KHCS CPU
KHCS ENT Server
KHCS ENT CPU

	— two different keys can be added to one SVM. For example, when using two keys of different types for Server and Desktop.

	— two different keys can be added, but to different SVMs. For example, when purchasing additional keys of the same type, Server and Server, Desktop and Desktop. These cases can be transferred to fully supported ones using consolidation.

	— two different keys can be added, but to different SVMs. In doing so, it is necessary to restrict infrastructures that have been activated with different keys. This is so that agents connected to the first SVM with an “A” key type cannot connect to to the second SVM with a “B” key type during migration. We recommend using only one CPU key instead of several.

	— the latest version of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 is required.

KSV DT	Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, Desktop
KSV SRV	Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, Server
KSV CORE	Kaspersky Security for Virtualization, Core
KHCS DT	Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security, Desktop
KHCS SRV	Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security, Server
KHCS CPU	Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security, CPU
KHCS ENT Server	Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security Enterprise, Server
KHCS ENT CPU	Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security Enterprise, CPU
