The serial key used by the user for Kaspersky Anti-Virus is often blacklisted by the company and considered invalid. A number of unscrupulous organizations that distribute serial numbers for this antivirus do not care that the key they offer is on the white list and is not blocked by the program. Therefore, it is important to check the presence of a key in the antivirus blacklist before using it.
Necessary
A special application for checking the validity of a key
Instructions
Step 1
Download one of the applications that can check the key for its presence in the blacklist. Usually such applications are distributed free of charge. As an example, consider the Keys manager, designed for batch verification of a large number of keys.
Step 2
Run the installed Keys manager and click on the "Select folder" button to select the folder with the program keys.
Step 3
The program also has other functions. To use them, click on the Advanced checkbox in the center of the program window. In the additional settings window that opens, the user has the opportunity to select a new key file name by clicking on the drop-down list - it can be full, ordinary, or contain only the key number. Choosing a key name helps you both sort the various serial numbers and make it easier to find them in the folder.
Step 4
In addition, the user can choose the option of additional sorting. It allows you to set sorting conditions by the expiration date of the key, for example. In addition, the user has the option of creating a separate report file, which stores information about the keys that have been verified against the black list, and the option to delete the original keys if he decided to change the format of their name.
Step 5
Finally, you can set the option to add two additional days to the validity period of each key - the program allows you to perform such a manipulation. After finishing work with the settings, press the OK button.
Step 6
Click on the "Process Keys" button, which will appear in place of the button from the previous step after the location of the keys is selected. Examine the key report provided by the program. It will indicate the number of verified keys, the number of unique keys and the number of valid ones.
