Hi.
We have 4 distributed geographic branches with a 100 Workstatios/FileServers on all sites.
These branches are not connected to each other.
Now , I am considering buying Kaspersky Business Space Security with 100 licenses, Is it possible to use the key on these distributed bramches ?

You need to have a license for each machine from the legal standpoint smile.gif

Thanks for your reply.
I have bought 100 licenses which is right now more than our current number of WS/FS, but I meant if I can use the same License key on the different 4 Administrator Servers ( 1 Administrator Server in each branch).

Yes you can. It just means the licensing report you generate in the Admin kit will show incorrect numbers.

Thanks for your clarification

It'a little risky. If you buy a license for 100 computers and if you use this license on 400 computers, then KL can black list your key and you will not able to download updates on any of your computers.

So how solve this to be on the safe side ?

I'm sorry I think I made a mistake when reading your 1st message.
I thought you have 400 computers at all (100 on each sites) and that you wanted to buy a license key designed for 100 computers and to use it on 400...

If your Administration servers are not connected (there are not in a hierarchy) together, then I think there won't be any problem with license counting.

The situation is as you described.
I have seen that I only have 10 licenses for FS and 90 for WS!!
I thought that the 100 licenses I bought can be used on any type of WS/FS ??
what if I want to buy only FS licenses ? because I have more than 10 Servers in our four branches?
