About application activation

Application Activation is the procedure to activate the license and receive the right to use the fully-functional version of the application during the course of the license validity period.

To activate the application, a license key must be added to all SVMs. The application activation task is used to add a key to SVMs.

When the application activation task is created, a key from the Kaspersky Security Center key storage is used.

You can add a key to the Kaspersky Security Center key storage in one of the following ways:

• using the key file
• using the activation code

You can add a key to the Kaspersky Security Center key storage while creating an application activation task for SVMs or in advance.
