Automatic distribution of a license key
Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console allows automatic distribution of license keys to managed devices if they are located in the license keys repository on the Administration Server.
To distribute a license key to managed devices automatically:
- In the main menu, go to Operations → Licensing → Kaspersky licenses.
- Click the name of the license key that you want to distribute to devices automatically.
- In the license key properties window that opens, switch the toggle button to Automatically distribute license key to managed devices.
- Click the Save button.
The license key will be automatically distributed to all compatible devices.
License key distribution is performed by means of Network Agent. No license key distribution tasks are created for the application.
During automatic distribution of a license key, the licensing limit on the number of devices is taken into account. The licensing limit is set in the properties of the license key. If the licensing limit is reached, distribution of this license key on devices ceases automatically.
Note that an automatically distributed license key may not be displayed in the virtual Administration Server repository in the following cases:
- The license key is not valid for the application.
- The virtual Administration Server does not have managed devices.
- The license key has already been used for devices managed by another virtual Administration Server and the limit on the number of devices has been reached.
If you specify the Automatically distribute license key to managed devices option for a subscription license key for activating any application on a managed device, and at the same time you have an active trial license key, then your trial license key will be automatically replaced by the subscription license key eight days before the expiration date.
