About the key file

A key file is a file with the .key extension that you receive from Kaspersky. Key files are designed to activate the application by adding a license key.

After purchasing the application or ordering the trial version of the application, you receive a key file at the email address you specified.

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 restore a key file, contact the vendor of the license.
