Auto Extend

Enables and disables Auto-Extend for machines installed with AntiMalware. Displays the total number of licenses purchased and expired, and the number of full and partial licenses available.

When Auto-Extend is enabled and a KAM license expires, a new, full license is pulled from your license pool automatically. This ensures the endpoint does not go without antimalware protection at any point, as long as you have available licenses. Auto-Extend always uses a full license.

In the event you uninstall KAM from an endpoint, that license goes into a partial license pool. When KAM is deployed to a new endpoint, Kaseya License Manager always checks the partial license pool first. If a partial license is available, the partial license is used on the endpoint with the new install. If no partial licenses are available, Kaseya uses a full KAM license.

Licenses begin their clock ticking on the first day they are installed. If uninstalled, the clock continues to tick on that license. By deploying these partial licenses for new installations of KAM, you can get the most out of each 1-year license.
