CHAPTER 6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. Renewing your license
The right to use Kaspersky Lab's software is granted based on the license
agreement entered into when you purchase the software product.
During the licensing period, you can:
• Use the anti-virus functionality of the application
• Update the anti-virus database
• Upgrade the versions of this application
• Receive technical support on matters related to the installation,
configuration, and operation of this anti-virus application by phone or via a
web-form used for inquiries to Technical support service and located at
the Kaspersky Lab's corporate website.
• Send suspicious and infected objects to Kaspersky Lab for expert
analysis
The program you installed automatically checks for the license agreement and
determines the licensing period using a license key that is a part of every
Kaspersky Lab application. An application can have only one valid license key.
The license key contains terms for using the software that can be read and
verified by special program means.
After the licensing term is over, you are unable to use the options listed above.
To renew the license, you should purchase and install a new license key.
Kaspersky Administration Kit helps you centrally monitor the validity of and
renew license keys installed on clients across your corporate logical network.
When a license key is installed using Kaspersky Administration Kit, the
information about this license key is stored on the administration server. This
information is used to create reports on license status and notify the
administrator if the license is about to expire or the maximum number of
permitted uses is exceeded. Parameters of notifications about the status of the
license keys can be edited in the Administration server settings.
In order to create a report about the status of the license keys
installed on the
client computers within the logical network, you may use an in-built template
Report about license keys or create a new template of the type that has the
same name.
The report created using the Report about license keys template contains
complete information about all license keys installed on the client computers
within the logical network, including both current and backup license keys, with
the indication of the computers on which they are used and the license
restrictions.
