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.

You receive a key file at the email address that you provided when you bought Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server or ordered the trial version of Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server.

Connecting to Kaspersky activation servers is not necessary 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.
