To activate the application, you must add a license key to all SVMs. It is recommended to configure an activation task that will be automatically started on all new SVMs immediately after they are deployed.
If you are using a licensing scheme that is based on the number of protected virtual machines, you need to create two activation tasks for protection of virtual machines running desktop operating systems and running server operating systems: a task for adding a server key to SVMs and a task for adding a desktop key to SVMs.
To configure an activation task:
- Add a license key to Kaspersky Security Center key storage.
- In the tree of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, select the Managed devices folder. In the workspace, select the Tasks tab and click the New task button. The New Task Wizard starts.
- Specify the application for which the task is being created, and the type of task. To do so, in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Agentless list, select Application activation.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
- Click the Select button. The Select a license key window opens. Select a key from the Kaspersky Security Center key storage and click the OK button.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
- Configure the task run schedule settings:
- In the Scheduled start drop-down list, select the Once mode. In the Start date and Start time fields, leave the default settings.
- Select the Run skipped tasks check box.
Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
- Enter the name of the task and proceed to the next step of the wizard.
- Finish the wizard.
According to the configured schedule settings, the task will start on all new SVMs immediately after they are deployed. You can view information on the results of a task in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
