About the license

A license is a time-limited right to use Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response, granted under the End User License Agreement.

The list of available functions and the validity period of the application depend on the license under which the application is used.

The following types of licenses are available:

• Trial – a free license intended for trying out the application.

  Trial licenses have a short validity period. When the trial license expires, all the functions of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response become unavailable. To continue using the application, you need to purchase a commercial license.

  You can use the application under a trial license for only one trial period.

• Commercial is a paid license.

  The main functions of the application stop working when a commercial license expires. To continue working with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response, you need to renew the commercial license. After the license expires, you can no longer use the application and must uninstall it from the device.

  It is recommended to renew the license before its expiration date to ensure continued protection of your device against security threats.

About license key

The license key is a sequence of bits that can be used to activate the application for further usage in accordance with the terms of the End User License Agreement. License key is generated by Kaspersky experts.

You can add a license key to the application using one of the following methods: by applying a key file or by entering an activation code. After you add a key to the application, the license key is displayed in the application interface as a unique alphanumeric sequence.

The license key may be blocked by Kaspersky, if the terms of the End User License Agreement are violated. If the license key is blocked, add another license key for proper application operation.

There are two types of license keys: active and additional (backup).

Active license key is currently used to run the application. A license key for a trial or commercial license can be added as the active key. The application cannot have more than one active license key.

Additional (backup) license key confirms your right to use the application, but is not currently in use. The additional license key automatically becomes active when the license associated with the current active license key expires. An additional license key can be added only if an active license key is already added.

A trial license key can only be added as an active license key. A trial license key cannot be added as an additional license key.

About the activation code

Activation code is a unique sequence of twenty Latin letters and numbers. Activation code is used to add a license key that activates Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response. You receive the activation code at the email address that you provided when purchasing Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response or when ordering a trial version of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response.

To activate the application with an activation code, you need Internet access in order to connect to Kaspersky activation servers.

If you lost your activation code after activating the application, contact the Kaspersky partner from whom you purchased the license.

About the key file

You receive the key file at the email address that you provided when purchasing Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response or when ordering a trial version of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response.

You do not need to connect to Kaspersky activation servers in order to activate the application with a key file.

You can restore a key file if it has been accidentally deleted. You may need a key file to register a Kaspersky CompanyAccount, for example.

To restore the key file, perform one of the following actions:

About Kaspersky Security Network

Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of cloud services providing access to the online Kaspersky Knowledge Base that contains information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software.

For more information about sending to Kaspersky, storing and destroying statistical information obtained while using KSN, refer to Kaspersky website.

KSN Infrastructure

Kaspersky Security Network offers the following infrastructure solutions:

• Global KSN is the solution that is used by most Kaspersky applications. KSN participants receive information from Kaspersky Security Network and send to Kaspersky information about objects detected on the user device to be analyzed additionally by Kaspersky analysts and to be included in the reputation and statistical databases of Kaspersky Security Network.
• Private KSN is the solution that enables the users of the devices with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Endpoint Detection and Response or other Kaspersky applications installed to access Kaspersky Security Network reputation databases and other statistical data without sending data from their devices to KSN. Private KSN is designed for corporate customers who are unable to participate in Kaspersky Security Network for any of the following reasons:
  • Local workstations are not connected to internet.
  • Transmission of any data outside the country or outside the corporate LAN is prohibited by law or restricted by corporate security policies.
