About the End User License Agreement
The End User License Agreement (EULA) is a binding agreement between you and AO Kaspersky Lab, stipulating the terms on which you may use the application.
Read through the terms of the End User License Agreement carefully before you start using the application.
You can view the terms of the End User License Agreement (EULA) in the following ways:
- During installation of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform.
- By reading the text named /EULA/License.<language>.
This file is included in the application distribution kit.

- In the web interface of the Sandbox component, in the
menu, by clicking the End User License Agreement link.
By confirming that you agree with the End User License Agreement when installing the application, you signify your acceptance of the terms of the EULA. If you do not accept the terms of the End User License Agreement, you must abort application installation and must not use the application.

The License Certificate contains the following license information:
- License key or order number.
- Details of the license holder.
- Information about the application that can be activated using the license.

About the license
A license is a limited-time right to use Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform granted under the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement (EULA).
The scope of services and application usage term depend on the type of license under which the application is activated.
Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform provides the following types of licenses:
- NFR (not for resale) is a free license for a set period, intended to familiarize the user with the application and to carry out test deployments.
- Commercial—Paid license that is provided when you buy the application.
When the license expires, the application continues to work but with limited functionality. To use the application full functionality, you must purchase a commercial license or renew a commercial license.
We recommend renewing your license no later than its expiration date to prevent interrupting the protection of your device against computer security threats.
The update functionality (including anti-virus signature updates and code base updates) may be unavailable in the territory of the USA.
In the current version of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, the available functionality of the application also depends on the type of the added license key.
Page topAbout the license key
A license key is a sequence of bits used to activate and use the application in accordance with the End User License Agreement. A license key is generated by Kaspersky.
You can add a license key to the application by applying a key file or entering an activation code. After you add the license key to the application, it is displayed in the application interface as a unique alphanumeric sequence.
Kaspersky can block a license key over violations of the End User License Agreement. If a license key has been blocked, you must add a different license key to use the application.
In the current version of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, the available functionality of the application depends on the type of the added license key:
- KATA + NDR and KEDR license keys. Full functionality of the application.
- KEDR license key. Receiving and processing of data from network traffic and mail traffic is limited.
- KATA + NDR license key. The web interface sections Threat Hunting, Tasks, Prevention, Custom rules, Storage, and Assets have limited functionality.
- KATA license key. The functionality in the Threat Hunting, Tasks, Prevention, Custom rules, Storage, Assets sections of the web interface is limited, the functionality of saving and downloading network traffic in the SPAN traffic processing section is limited.
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.
The key file is sent to the email address that you specified after purchasing Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform or after ordering Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform with the NFR license type.
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, you must do one of the following:
- Contact the vendor you bought the license from.
- Get a key file on the Kaspersky website using your activation code.
About the activation code
An activation code is a unique sequence of twenty Latin characters and numerals. You enter an activation code to add a license key that activates Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform. The activation code is sent to the email address that you specified after purchasing Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform or after ordering Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform with the NFR license type.
To activate the application using an activation code, you need internet access for connecting to Kaspersky activation servers.
If you lose your activation code after activating the application, contact the Kaspersky partner from which you purchased the license.
