A license is a time-limited right to use the application, granted under the Terms and Conditions.
A license grants you the following kinds of services:
- Use of the application in accordance with the Terms and Conditions
- Getting technical support
The scope of services and validity period depend on the type of license under which the application was activated.
The following license types are provided:
- Trial—A free license intended for trying out the application.
A trial license usually has a short term. When the trial license expires, all Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response features become disabled. To continue using the application, you need to purchase a commercial license.
You can activate the application under the trial license only once.
- Commercial—A paid license granted upon purchase of the application.
When the commercial license expires, the application continues running with limited functionality (telemetry is not provided). To continue using all of the features of Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, you must renew your commercial license.
We recommend renewing the license before its expiration, to ensure maximum protection against all security threats.
- Subscription—A paid license that enables the application usage for a monthly or annual billing period, with auto-renewal, until canceled or expired.
The subscription license can be of two types:
- Limited—Automatically renewed at the end of each billing period up until the defined expiration date.
- Open-ended—Auto-renewed at the end of each billing period until canceled by the customer.
You can manage the subscription license via the Kaspersky License Management Portal (LMP).
If you change your license scope, for example change the number of assets, the license details are updated in MDR Web console within 24 hours.
When the subscription license is canceled or expired, the application continues running with limited functionality (telemetry is not provided). To continue using all of the features of Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, you must renew your subscription license.
We recommend renewing the license before its expiration, to ensure maximum protection against all security threats.
A Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response license also grants usage of the Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum solution. The solution becomes available on an asset after configuring integration between Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.
