# License Key

Starting with Keeper Connection Manager version 2.19, customers are required to obtain a license key from Keeper in order to continue the use of the application.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before installing KCM 2.19 or later versions, please ensure you have a valid license key. **Without a valid license key, users and administrators will be unable to use KCM after the update is applied**
{% endhint %}

#### Obtaining a License Key <a href="#obtaining-a-license-key" id="obtaining-a-license-key"></a>

To obtain a license key, please contact Keeper Support directly at: <https://www.keepersecurity.com/support.html>

Upon request, Keeper Security staff will generate and send a copy of your license key.

#### Installation

To install your license key, you must provide the license as the sole contents of `/etc/guacamole/kcm.license`, which must be readable by the guacamole group.

```
cat "license_key_supplied_by_keeper" > /etc/guacamole/kcm.license
chmod 640 /etc/guacamole/kcm.license
chown root:guacamole /etc/guacamole/kcm.license
```

After adding the license key, restarting the service may be necessary.

```
sudo systemctl restart guacamole guacd
```
