When you reinstall the operating system, all the applications that were on the computer must be reinstalled. This also applies to anti-virus programs, including Kaspersky Anti-Virus. But how can you save the license key if the license has not expired at the time of reinstallation?
It is necessary
- A computer;
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus installation file;
- Internet access;
- skills in installing and configuring programs;
- antivirus activation code included in the package;
- client's personal number and password
Instructions
Step 1
Unlike some other anti-virus programs, for example, DrWeb, Kaspersky Anti-Virus does not store the key as a separate file, which can be simply copied and saved before reinstalling. To continue using the license after reinstalling the antivirus, go to the pag
Step 2
Enter your registration data in the appropriate fields: activation code, client number and password, code from the picture and click "Next". A new key will be sent to you, which will allow you to continue using the antivirus.
Step 3
If you do not have Internet access, you can transfer your antivirus registration data using the Windows registry. To do this, before reinstalling the system and the antivirus, from the command line of the Start menu, run the Regedit command. To do this, left-click on the "Start" button in the taskbar, then on the "Run" line and enter "Regedit" in the window that opens. Find the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSystemCertificatesSPC" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREKasperskyLabLicStorage" registry branches and save them as registry files (reg files).
Step 4
After reinstalling the operating system, add the data from these files to the registry, and only then reinstall Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
