To view information about a key in the properties of the application installed on an SVM:

  1. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, open the properties window of the SVM for which you want to view key details:
    1. Select the administration group containing the KSC cluster that includes the relevant SVM.
    2. In the workspace, select the Devices tab.
    3. In the list, select the SVM and open the SVM properties window by double-clicking or by selecting Properties in the context menu.

    The Properties: <SVM name> window opens.

  2. In the SVM properties window in the list on the left, select the Applications section.

    A list of applications that are installed on this SVM appears in the right part of the window.

  3. Select Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Agentless and open the application settings window by double-clicking or by selecting Properties in the context menu.

    The Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Agentless settings window opens.

  4. In the application settings window, in the list on the left, select the License keys section.

The details of the key added to the SVM appear in the right part of the window. The Active license key section displays information about the active key. The Reserve license key section displays information about the reserve key. If no reserve key is added, the Reserve license key section shows the <Not added> string.

The following information about the key is displayed in the Active license key section:

  • Unique alphanumeric sequence (key).
  • License type. Type of license. Possible options: trial, commercial or subscription.
  • Activation date – the date when the application was activated with this key.
  • 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.
  • License term. 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>.
  • 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.

The following information about the key is displayed in the Reserve license key section:

  • Unique alphanumeric sequence (key).
  • License type. License type: commercial.
  • License term. The number of days during which you may use the application activated by adding this key (for example, 365 days).
  • 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.

If both a server key and a desktop key have been added on an SVM, the Kaspersky Security Center properties window shows 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.
  • 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.
  • Validity period – 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.
  • 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.
