Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud allows a single subscription to protect a maximum of 5,000 nodes (devices) before an additional license tier is required. The platform's licensing model is tiered, so organizations exceeding this limit must upgrade to a higher‑capacity plan or purchase additional seats.

How the node limit works
The 5,000‑node cap applies to the standard cloud‑based subscription that includes antivirus, anti‑malware, web protection, and device control. Each registered endpoint—whether a workstation, laptop, or server—counts as one node. When the count approaches the limit, the Kaspersky admin console will warn administrators to prevent service interruption.
Scaling beyond 5,000 nodes
Enterprises that need to protect more than 5,000 devices can request a custom‑volume license. Kaspersky offers enterprise‑grade agreements that scale to tens of thousands of nodes, often with discounted per‑node pricing. These agreements are negotiated directly with Kaspersky sales and may include additional management features such as on‑premise reporting.
Typical licensing tiers
| Tier | Maximum Nodes | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Cloud | 5,000 | Small‑to‑midsize businesses |
| Enterprise Cloud | 10,000‑50,000 | Large regional organizations |
| Custom Volume | 50,001+ | Global enterprises |
Monitoring node usage
Administrators can track node counts in the Kaspersky Security Center dashboard. The interface shows total licensed nodes, currently active nodes, and available capacity, helping IT teams plan upgrades before reaching the limit.
Key considerations
- Each physical or virtual device consumes one node slot.
- Shared devices (e.g., kiosks) still count as separate nodes.
- License upgrades are typically prorated and can be applied without downtime.
