Application licensing

This section covers the main aspects of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform licensing.

About the End User License Agreement

The End User License Agreement (EULA) is a binding agreement between you and AO Kaspersky Lab, stipulating the terms on which you may use the application.

Read through the terms of the End User License Agreement carefully before you start using the application.

You can view the terms of the End User License Agreement (EULA) in the following ways:

• During installation of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform.
• By reading the text named /EULA/License.<language>.

  This file is included in the application distribution kit.

• In the application web interface, in the Settings section, License subsection, by clicking the License agreement button.
• In the web interface of the Sandbox component, in the menu, by clicking the End User License Agreement link.

By confirming that you agree with the End User License Agreement when installing the application, you signify your acceptance of the terms of the EULA. If you do not accept the terms of the End User License Agreement, you must abort application installation and must not use the application.

About the license

A license is a limited-time right to use Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform granted under the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement (EULA).

The list of available functionality and the period for which you can use the application depend on the license under which you are using the application.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform provides the following types of licenses:

• NFR (not for resale) is a free license for a set period, intended to familiarize the user with the application and to carry out test deployments.
• Commercial—Paid license that is provided when you buy the application.

When the license expires, the application continues to work but with limited functionality. To use the application full functionality, you must purchase a commercial license or renew a commercial license.

In the current version of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, the available functionality of the application also depends on the type of key installed.

The update functionality (including anti-virus signature updates and code base updates), as well as the KSN functionality may be unavailable in the territory of the USA.

About the license certificate

The License Certificate is a document provided with the key file or activation code.

The License Certificate contains the following license information:

• License key or order number.
• Details of the license holder.
• Information about the application that can be activated using the license.
• Limitation on the number of licensing units (devices on which the application can be used under the license).
• License start date.
• License expiration date or license validity period.
• License type.

About the key

A license key is a sequence of bits used to activate and use the application in accordance with the End User License Agreement. A license key is generated by Kaspersky.

To add a key to the application, upload the key file.

Kaspersky can block a key over violations of the End User License Agreement. If the key has been blocked, you have to add a different key to continue using the application.

In the current version of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, the available functionality of the application depends on the type of the added license key:

• KATA and KEDR keys. Full functionality of the application.
• KEDR key. Receiving and processing of data from network traffic and mail traffic is limited.
• KATA key. The web interface sections Threat Hunting, Tasks, Prevention, Custom rules, Storage, and Endpoint Agents have limited functionality.

About the key file

A key file is a file with the .key extension that you receive from Kaspersky. Key files are designed to activate the application by adding a license key.

After purchasing the application or ordering the trial version of the application, you receive a key file at the email address you specified.

You do not need to connect to Kaspersky activation servers in order to activate the application with a key file.

You can recover a key file if it is accidentally deleted. You may need a key file to register with Kaspersky CompanyAccount.

To restore a key file, contact the vendor of the license.
