Article applies to KSC13-14.2

Consider the following scenario:

1. Open KSC MMC console;
2. Go to Kaspersky licenses;
3. Select KSC license.

Devices on which the license key is active is zero regardless of fact that this key is assigned as active on KSC Server:

Explanation

In older versions of Kaspersky applications, several license key files were provided to activate different products - one for KSC - 1 license unit and another for workstations and servers (Kaspersky Security for WS and FS) - in this example, 150 license units. 

In this example, 151 license units. 

In newer versions of Kaspersky applications, an activation code is provided (activation 2.0 format). When you activate an application with this activation code, total number of license unit is 150, this is 1 fewer than 151 because KSC Server consumed 1 license. 

Solution

The license for KSC server is not counted. This applies only to activations codes. 

1. Re-configure Report on usage of license keys to display all summary fields;
2. Re-generate the report - it will display KSC license as active on KSC Server:
   
3. Open the properties of KSC server→License keys to make sure it is activated with a valid license.
