I am contemplating purchasing 10 user license of KAV (possibly 3 or 4 copies of)
As I understand it, each 10 user license will have the same key, so if I order the 10 user license and install it on 1 PC right away, i.e. 8th May 2008, then I assume it will expire on 8th May 2010 (I would plump for the 2 year license)
If a new PC then came through the door in say August and I installed KAV on it would the expiry date for this PC be 8th May 2010 or would it be what ever day in August I chose to install it on?
As a slight aside, if I were to purchase 4 10 user licenses, and say 3 of them remained untouched, would there be an expiry date on these? - I.e. if it took me till say November to use all 10 from the first license would it be OK to then begin using the second license in November, i.e. I wouldnt have to activate the key within a specific time period from purchase?
If this WERE the case, what would stop me activating 1 of the 10 from all 4 copies on 4 PCs straight away, and then installing the other 9 from each at any time?
This might sound a bit garbled, but I'm sure someone will see where I am coming from!
Edit: I should have added this would be the standard 'consumer' version of KAV, i.e. KAV7 - its a business environment, but currently not on a domain, so not in a position to push out AV from a central server
Full Version: Expiry date based on first install?
1) At this number of licenses you are better off purchasing Kaspersky for Windows Workstations from Business Space product line. This way you will be able to remotely control your AV deployment via the centralized console called AdminKit
2) The key counter starts the moment you activate it via the code for personal products. For business products you usually get a keyfile instead of a code, with a few reserve months built in

How can this be achieved without a domain ?- Our current infrastructure is basically a number of workstations (around 35-40) which connect to the server only as a file server or for SQL server in the case of 4 of us. As we don't authenticate on to a domain I don't know how I could remotely deploy the AV. If someone has a suggestion then please say - I'd love to be able to do it all from my chair and not have to go round to each PC individually!

So your saying that if I activated a product usable on 10 PCs that the expiry date on ALL the PCs would be the same, and would depend on the expiry date on the first PC?

Without the domain, KAV works like any oher piece of software. It does however have the Network Agent, which you can use to then deploy the rest of the package, but you would manually have to install the NA. On a 35-40 network, you really need to start thinking of using a domain.
If they all have the same Administrator password, then you can use certain tools like xcmd (not a KAV product) to remotely issue commands to these PCs and run the installer package. However, that wont help if firewalls etc are on.

I have a license key that expires 2010-01-16 but when I install it onto KAV 6.0 clients through KAK it gets the expire date today+1 year from installdate.
That means that all workstations that are not installed at the same time will have different expire dates.
It also means they wont have the right expire date set in the key file.
How does that make sense?
