Activating Kaspersky Scan Engine in offline licensing mode

This section describes how to activate Kaspersky Scan Engine in offline licensing mode after Kaspersky Scan Engine is installed.

You can activate Kaspersky Scan Engine on the license settings page of the Kaspersky Scan Engine GUI.

To activate Kaspersky Scan Engine in offline licensing mode, you need a key file. The key file is provided to you by your Technical Account Manager (TAM).

To activate Kaspersky Scan Engine in offline licensing mode:

1. Open the configuration file that corresponds to the mode you chose:
   • If you are using Kaspersky Scan Engine in HTTP mode, open the kavhttpd.xml configuration file.
   • If you are using Kaspersky Scan Engine in ICAP mode, open the kavicapd.xml configuration file.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Copy the key file to the directory specified in the LicensePath element of the configuration file.

     For a list of the other directories that Kaspersky Scan Engine automatically searches for the key file, see the description of the LicensePath element:

     • In kavhttpd.xml (HTTP mode): DirectorySettings > LicensePath.
     • In kavicapd.xml (ICAP mode): SDKSettings > LicensePath.
   • If you want to store the key file in a different directory, specify the path to this directory in the LicensePath element of the configuration file and copy the appinfo.kli file there.The appinfo.kli file is located in the /bin directory of the distribution kit.
3. In the LicensingMode element of the configuration file, specify 1.
4. Save the configuration file.
5. Restart the Kaspersky Scan Engine service:
   • In HTTP mode, restart the kavhttpd service.
   • In ICAP mode, restart the kavicapd service.

If the activation is successful, Kaspersky Scan Engine will start normally and you will be able to update the anti-virus database. Otherwise, Kaspersky Scan Engine will return an error to the command line.
