To view details of the key in the Kaspersky licenses folder:

  1. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, select the Kaspersky licenses folder.

    The workspace shows a list of keys added to the Kaspersky Security Center key storage.

  2. In the list of keys, select a key whose details you wish to view.

On the right of the key list, the following key details appear:

  • Unique alphanumeric sequence (key).
  • Application. The name of the application for which the key is intended, and license information.
  • Type. License type. Possible options: trial, commercial or subscription.
  • License term (days). The number of days during which you may use the application activated by adding this key (for example, 365 days). If you are using the application under subscription, the field value is <Unavailable>.
  • License key expiration date. Key expiration date. You can activate the application by adding this key and use it only before this expiration date. If you are using the application under unlimited subscription, the field value is Unlimited.
  • License expiration date. The date when your right to use the application activated with the current key expires. If you are using the application under unlimited subscription, the field value is Unlimited.
  • Maximum number of devices. Depending on the key type:
    • For a server key – the maximum number of virtual machines running a server operating system that you can protect.
    • For a desktop key – the maximum number of virtual machines running a desktop operating system that you can protect.

      For server and desktop keys, the license restriction count includes all virtual machines that were under the protection of the application over the last 30 days, even if those virtual machines are currently powered off. If you do not want a virtual machine to be included in the license restriction count, you can exclude the virtual machine from the protected virtual machines.

    • For a key with a limitation on the number of processor cores – the maximum number of physical processor cores used on all hypervisors whose virtual machines you can protect.
    • For a key with a limitation on the number of processors – the maximum number of physical processors used on all hypervisors whose virtual machines you can protect.
  • Devices with the active key – the number of SVMs on which the key is added as an active key.
  • Devices with the reserve key – the number of SVMs on which the key is added as a reserve key.

If you have selected a subscription key in the list, the following information is also displayed to the right of the list:

  • Type of validity period restriction – if the application is being used under an unlimited subscription, Unlimited is displayed in the field. If the subscription is limited, the field is not displayed.
  • Grace period. The number of days after subscription suspension during which the application retains its functionality.
  • Subscription provider's web address – web address of the service provider with whom the subscription is registered.
  • Subscription status. The current status of the subscription. Possible values: active, paused, expired, canceled, grace period activated.

Subscription details are also displayed in the subscription key properties window in the About subscription section.

If both a server key and a desktop key have been added on an SVM, the Kaspersky licenses folder of Kaspersky Security Center shows information on these keys and the following information about the combination of the server key and desktop key:

  • Unique alphanumeric sequence is the combination of a server key and a desktop key.
  • Validity period (days) – the longer of the following two application usage periods: the period of application usage under the server key, or the period of application usage under the desktop key.
  • License key expiration date – the later of the following two key expiration dates: server key expiration date or desktop key expiration date.
  • License expiration date – the later of the following two dates: the end date of application usage under the server key, or the end date of application usage under the desktop key.
  • Maximum number of devices – the sum of the following values: the maximum number of virtual machines with desktop operating systems and the maximum number of virtual machines with server operating systems that you can protect using the application.
  • Grace period – only for subscription keys: the longer of the following two grace periods: the grace period corresponding to the server key or the grace period corresponding to the desktop key.
  • Subscription status – only for subscription keys: the field shows the Active status if a subscription corresponding to at least one of the keys (server or desktop) has the active status. If both subscriptions are inactive, the field displays the better status (for example, if one subscription has Not active status and the other one has Grace period activated status, the field displays the Grace period activated status).
