About the key file

A key file is a file with the .key extension that you receive from Kaspersky. The purpose of the key file is to add a license key to activate the application.

When you buy KSMG or order the trial version of KSMG, the key file is sent to the email address that you provided.

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

You can recover a key file if it is accidentally deleted. You may need a key file to register with Kaspersky CompanyAccount.

To recover a key file, do one of the following:

• Contact the vendor of the license.
• Receive a key file from the Kaspersky website based on your existing activation code.
