About the key file

A Key file is a file with the .key extension that you receive from Kaspersky. Key files are used to add a license key for activation of the application.

You receive the key file at the email address that you provided when purchasing the software solution that includes Kaspersky Endpoint Agent or when ordering a trial version of this software solution.

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

You can restore a key file if it has been accidentally deleted. You may need a key file to register a Kaspersky CompanyAccount, for example.

To restore a key file, perform one of the following actions:

• Contact the license distributor.
• Get the key file on the Kaspersky website when you have an activation code.
