Changing the number of license keys for a virtual machine with a custom operating system image

When creating a virtual machine with a custom operating system image, Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform specifies the number of license keys for software that is used inside that virtual machine. By default, the number of license keys is equal to the number of virtual machines running at the same time. Your license must cover this number. If necessary, you can change the number of license keys for the virtual machine.

If the number of license keys configured for a virtual machine is less than the number of simultaneously running virtual machines, the overall performance of the Sandbox server may be degraded.

It is not recommended to change the specified number of simultaneously running virtual machines.

To change the number of license keys for a virtual machine with a custom operating system image:

  1. Enter the management console of the Sandbox server via the SSH protocol or through a terminal.
  2. Get a list of servers by running the sb-custom-images list-vm command.

    The table of virtual machines is displayed, where id is the ID of the virtual machine, name is the name of the virtual machine, and licenses is the number of license keys.

  3. Set the number of license keys for the selected virtual machine by running the sb-custom-images licenses -id <virtual machine ID> -ln <number of licenses> command.

The number of license keys is changed.

To get help for the script, run the sb-custom-images --help command.
