Single key activation support for physical and virtual environment protection solutions
The KB13742 patch allows you to activate solutions for the protection of physical and virtual environments with a single key or activation code.
After the KB13742 patch is applied, Kaspersky Security 10 for Windows Server can be activated with a single key or with an activation code for Kaspersky Security for Virtualization. The support of single activation scheme simplifies the usage of necessary anti-virus solutions during migration from between physical and virtual environments, as well as when working in hybrid infrastructures.
After activating Kaspersky Security 10 for Windows Server with a Kaspersky Security for Virtualization key or activation code, all functions are available except:
- Network attached storages (the RPC-Attached Storage Protection and the ICAP-Attached Storage Protection tasks)
- The Default Deny component (the Applications Launch Control task)
To support the functionality of the single activation scheme, please install the management plug-in update before installing the KB13742 critical fix:

Improvement of protection algorithms for the Anti-Cryptor component
Once the KB13742 fix has been installed, the heuristic analyzer of the Anti-Cryptor component recognizes a wider range of formats. This improvement might cause an increase in the number of false positives. Should false positives occur, we advise you to do the following:
- Collect diagnostic data for the false positives (traces) and send them to the Kaspersky Lab Technical Support team.
- Add these files to the list of exclusions in the Anti-Cryptor task.
Fixed issues
- Fixed the algorithm for processing network errors In the current version, the application does not restore the connection to the ICAP-server should any network failures occur. Anti-virus protection for the ICAP-storage stops until the ICAP Attached Storage Protection Task is restarted manually. Once the KB13742 fix is applied, the application automatically recovers the interrupted ICAP connection and continues to provide anti-virus protection as normal.
- Fixed the issue with the events processing stream In the current version of the application, the events processing stream might stop working should there be any file processing errors. This leads to a buildup of suspended file operations in the system and a consequent reduction in performance.
- Fixed the issue with activating the application via the Administration Server In the current version of the application, errors might occur when attempting to activate the application on a group of protected servers via Kaspersky Security Center. Such an error might occur if the Kaspersky Security Center repository contains multiple keys or activation codes for different applications. Should an error arise, Kaspersky Security 10 for Windows Server registers “#1182 Unspecified error” in the Windows Event Log.
To fix these errors, we recommend that you download and install the KB13742 critical fix.
