Viewing information about used license keys

You can view information about the license keys being used by Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security in the following ways:

• In Kaspersky Security Center, in the properties of the Add key task.

  In the properties of the Add key task, you can find information about the key that this task adds to the application.

• In Kaspersky Security Center, in the properties of the relevant Kaspersky application installed on the client device.

  In the properties of the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security application on the protected device, you can find information about the active and reserve keys added to the application on this device. You can view the properties of the application using the Web Console as well as the Administration Console.

• In Kaspersky Security Center, in the license key usage report.

  You can view the license key usage report using the Web Console (Monitoring & reporting → Reports), as well as the Administration Console (Reports tab). To view the report, you need to select the "Report on usage of license keys" template in the list of reports and start generating the report.

• In Kaspersky Security Center, in the Kaspersky Security Center license key store.

  You can open the key store using the Web Console (Operations → Kaspersky licenses) or using the Administration Console (Kaspersky licenses folder). The store displays information about all keys added to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

• On a device with Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security installed. You can view information about the license used by the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security application on the command line.

You can also use notifications about Kaspersky Security Center events to get information about the used license keys and the licenses associated with them. The application sends information about expired licenses and license violations to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

If you use Kaspersky Security Center to manage the application, by default, information about license keys being added and removed and about license term expiration is recorded in the operating system log.
