Viewing the license key usage report
Information about the license keys used by the Kaspersky Security solution is displayed in the Kaspersky Security Center key usage report. You can view the key usage report using the Web Console as well as the Administration Console.
Summary information in the key usage report
The summary table contains the following information:
- License key – a unique alphanumeric sequence.
- Used as active – depends on the type of active key:
- the number of protected virtual machines for which the key is used as the active key
- the number of SVMs on which the key is added as an active key.
- Used as reserve – the number of SVMs on which the key is added as a reserve key. If you are using the solution under a subscription, the field value is
Unavailable
or0
. - Restriction – depends on the key type:
- the maximum number of virtual machines that you can protect
- the maximum number of physical processor cores used across all hypervisors whose virtual machines you can protect
- the maximum number of physical processors used across all hypervisors whose virtual machines you can protect
- Earliest license expiration date – the date when your right to use the solution activated by adding the current key expires.
- License key valid until – the key expiration date. You can activate the solution by adding this key and use the solution only before this expiration date. If you are using the solution under an unlimited subscription, the field value is
Unlimited
.
The row below contains the following consolidated information:
- License keys – total number of keys in use.
- License keys used up by more than 90% – total number of keys that have been used up by more than 90% of their license restrictions. For example, the restriction is 100 virtual machines. A key is used on two SVMs: the first one protects 42 virtual machines and the second one protects 53 virtual machines. The key is therefore 95% used and is included in the number of keys specified in this field.
- License keys with exceeded restriction – total number of keys that have exceeded a license limit, such as a limit imposed on the number of simultaneously running virtual machines with server operating systems or a limit on the number of physical processors used on all hypervisors (depending on the key type).
Detailed information in the key usage report
Depending on the key type, the detailed table shows information about the SVM on which the key has been added (for a key with a limitation on the number of processors or processor cores), or information about the protected virtual machine the key is being used for (for a server or desktop key):
The detailed table contains the following information:
- Virtual Administration Server – the name of the virtual Administration Server that manages the SVM or the protected virtual machine.
- Group – the administration group to which the SVM or protected virtual machine belongs.
- Device – the name of the SVM or protected virtual machine.
- Application – the name of the Kaspersky Security solution component installed on the SVM or the protected virtual machine.
- Version number – version number of the Kaspersky Security solution component.
- Active license key – the key that has been added as an active key.
- Reserve license key – the key that has been added as a reserve key.
- License valid until – the expiration date for using the solution with this key.
- IP address – the IP address of an SVM or protected virtual machine on which the key has been added.
- Last visible on the network – the date and time when the SVM or protected virtual machine was last visible on the corporate LAN.
- Last connection date – date and time of the last connection of the SVM or protected virtual machine to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
- NetBIOS name – the name of the SVM or protected virtual machine.
- Windows domain – the domain to which the SVM or the protected virtual machine belongs.
- DNS name – the DNS name of the SVM or protected virtual machine.
- DNS domain – the DNS domain to which the SVM or protected virtual machine belongs (specified only if the name of the SVM or virtual machine contains the name of the DNS domain).
- Subscription pending – indicates whether a solution subscription is pending.
- License key valid until – the key expiration date. You can activate the solution by adding this key and use the solution only before this expiration date. If you are using the solution under an unlimited subscription, the field value is
Unlimited
