On the kaspersky website it clearly says there is a linux version, only when i login into my kaspersky portal and go to downloads there is no option for Linux. Or is it not avalible in europe ?

The link will says the same to go to my kaspersky account.

Get the files for installing the application

After completing your purchase, log in to your account on the My Kaspersky portal and click the Download button in the subscription information window to download the application installation files to your device.

There is no linux version to choose only Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS.

I don't see the links... Have you deleted them ?

Do you know if one license for 10 devices will work for Kaspersky Linux ?

Thanks.

I removed the links... since were from my personal cloud, I can send them via personal msg.

 

If You have a current active Subscription for Kaspersky home product, it should work.

 

For what product is that 10 devices license?

I have a Kaspersky Standard subscription covering 3 devices, and I've been trying for a few hours now to get this working on Kubuntu 25.10, starting out from the docs at the link above (which I found before coming to look at the forums).

after downloading `kfl_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb.setup` from the "Add Device" popup modal on the "Devices" tab of my online portal, I made it executable and ran the setup, as instructed.. but it didn't install the GUI:

sudo ./kfl_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb.setup

The application 'Kaspersky for Linux' was successfully installed but you need to configure it before using it

Run the script '/opt/kaspersky/kfl/bin/kfl-setup.pl' to configure the application

Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kfl-gui : PreDepends: libxml2 but it is not installable
E: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
   1. kfl-gui:amd64=2.0.0-987 is selected for install
   2. kfl-gui:amd64 PreDepends libxml2
      but none of the choices are installable:
      [no choices]

 

after many messages back and forth with Claude, we came to the conclusion that the Kaspersky setup is looking for `libxml2` explicitly, whereas in the current latest versions of Ubuntu (and therefore, Kubuntu that I'm using) this package is now called `libxml2-16`.

I also extracted the contents of this `.deb.setup` archive, which gave me the following 3 files:

tree kfl-extract/
kfl-extract/
├── install_script.sh
├── kfl_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb
└── kfl-gui_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb

1 directory, 3 files

but even with that, trying to install the GUI side of this manually does not work:

sudo dpkg -i kfl-extract/kfl-gui_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package kfl-gui.
dpkg: regarding .../kfl-gui_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb containing kfl-gui, pre-dependency problem:
 kfl-gui pre-depends on libxml2
  libxml2 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing archive kfl-extract/kfl-gui_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb (--install):
 pre-dependency problem - not installing kfl-gui
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kfl-extract/kfl-gui_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb

what am I missing here?
