This section contains information regarding the basic concepts used in the context of the application licensing. This section describes how to activate the application, where to view information about the current license, and how to purchase and renew a license.
ABOUT LICENSE
License is the right to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus and additional services provided by Kaspersky Lab and its partners.
Each license is defined by its validity period and type.
License term – a period during which the additional services are offered:
technical support;
update databases and application modules.
The services available depend on the type of license.
There are two types of license:
Trial – a free license with a limited validity period, for example, 30 days, intended to acquaint users with
Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
Trial license can be used only once.
If you have a trial license, you may contact Technical Support Service only if your question is about activating the product or purchasing a commercial license. When the trial license expires, Kaspersky Anti-Virus keeps performing all of its functions, but the application anti-virus databases are no longer updated. To proceed with the application, you should activate it (see section "Kaspersky Anti-Virus activation" on page 28).
Commercial – paid license with a limited validity period (for example, one year).
All functions and additional services are available during the validity period of a commercial license.
U S E R G U I D E
26
After the commercial license expires, Kaspersky Anti-Virus keeps performing all of its functions, but the anti­virus databases are no longer updated. As before, you will be able to scan your computer for viruses and use the protection components, but using only the anti-virus databases you had when the license expired. To protect your computer from infection with new viruses, we recommend that you renew your application license.
After you have activated the application with the commercial license, you can purchase the additional license for Kaspersky Anti-Virus and activate it. In this case, when the active license expires, the additional license will automatically replace it, thus allowing the application to keep running without any changes. Only one additional license can be activated for Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
VIEWING LICENSE INFORMATION
To view information about your current license,
open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button.
License number and type (commercial or trial), maximum number of hosts, expiration date and time, and days remaining until the expiration are all displayed in the window that opens (see figure below).
Figure 1. License management
If there is no license, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will notify you of this. If the application is not activated, you can start the activation procedure (see section "Kaspersky Anti-Virus activation" on page 28). If the trial version of the application is activated, you can purchase the commercial license (see section "Purchasing a license" on page 26). If your commercial license expires, you can renew it (see section "Renewing a license" on page 27).

You are provided with a key file on the basis of the activation code (see section "About the activation code" on page 28) obtained when purchasing the application; it entitles you to use the latter starting from the day of activation. The key file contains information about the license: the type, date of expiry and number of hosts.
KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS ACTIVATION
Before activating Kaspersky Anti-Virus, make sure that the current system date value on your computer matches the actual date and time.
The activation procedure consists of installing a key file (see section "About the key file" on page 28) that Kaspersky Anti-Virus applies to verify the rights for the use of the application and define the term of its use.

Select this activation option if you want to install the trial version of the application before deciding whether to purchase the commercial version. You will be granted a free license key with validity period limited by the trial license.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet. If the Internet connection is currently unavailable, you can activate the trial version later.
To activate the trial version of the application:

2. In the window that opens, click the Activate button. This launches the Activation Assistant. Follow these steps to activate the application.
3. In the Activation method window, select Activate trial version.
4. In the Obtaining key file window, wait until the Activation Assistant establishes connection with Kaspersky Lab servers and sends data for verification. If the data are successfully verified, the Assistant receives and installs a key file with a validity period limited by the trial license.
If the validity period of the trial license has expired, an onscreen notification will appear.
5. In the Key file information window, the Activation Assistant notifies you of the successful completion of the activation process. In addition, information about the installed key is displayed, including the key number, key type (trial), and the license key's expiration date.

ACTIVATING THE APPLICATION WITH AN ACTIVATION CODE
Select this activation option if you have purchased a commercial version of the application, and you have been provided an activation code. Using this activation code, you will obtain a key file, which provides access to the functionality of Kaspersky Anti-Virus throughout the entire license validity period.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet. If the Internet connection is currently unavailable, you can activate the trial version later.
To activate the application with your activation code, do the following:
1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button.
2. In the window that opens, click the Activate button. This launches the Activation Assistant. Follow these steps to activate the application.
3. In the Activation method window, select Activate using activation code.
4. In the Enter activation code window, enter the activation code that you received when you purchased Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
The activation code is a sequence of numbers and letters delimited with hyphens in four groups of five symbols without spaces, for example: 11AA1-11AAA-1AA11-1A111. Please note that the activation code should only be entered in Latin characters.
5. In the Obtaining key file window, wait until the Activation Assistant establishes connection with Kaspersky Lab servers and sends data for verification. If the activation code is verified, the Assistant downloads the key file.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not download a physical key file (with .key extension) from the server, but receives the relevant information to save in the operating system. To obtain a real key file, you should go through the registration procedure on the Kaspersky Lab website (http://support.kaspersky.com/).
