KeyShadow K2
KeyShadow for K2, including KeyAuditor and KeyServer by Sassafras Software, is an asset management solution that facilitates comprehensive software license control and monitoring over networks. It allows organizations to effectively track, audit, and enforce their software usage policies, reducing compliance risk and optimizing license utilization. Communication on this port typically handles the exchange of license validation queries and asset management data..
KeyShadow for K2 is a suite of Software Asset Management (SAM) tools provided by Sassafras Software, incorporating components like KeyAuditor and KeyServer. This suite enables centralized control over software licensing, deployment, and usage auditing across enterprise environments. Port 19315 is used by these components to facilitate communication between client systems requesting license validation and the central KeyServer.
When a client application is launched on a user’s system, it sends a request over this port using either TCP or UDP to the KeyServer to verify license availability, lease licenses dynamically, or log audit information. This client-server communication allows real-time enforcement of licensing policies, ensuring compliance with vendor agreements and avoiding over-deployment of software.
The system supports a wide array of platforms and integrates with other IT infrastructure to enable detailed software inventory, usage analytics, and license reconciliation. By using port 19315, organizations maintain centralized control while minimizing network overhead, ensuring SAM operations are efficient and scalable.
