Activation of managed Kaspersky applications

License keys allow you to activate and use managed Kaspersky applications. When you use Kaspersky Security Center to add a license key, the license key settings are saved on the Administration Server. To add a license key to the Administration Server repository, you can apply a key file or enter an activation code. The key file (optional) and activation code are attached to the email message that you receive after you purchase Kaspersky Security Center. The received email message also contains the Kaspersky License Certificate and compatibility list (optional).
