Kaspersky is one of the most popular antivirus programs. Surely each of its owners has come across the activation of this software at least once. This is quite easy and simple to do.
Kaspersky antivirus license
First, it should be said that a user who uses Kaspersky antivirus buys from the developer not the program itself, but the right to use it. Usually it has a certain period, which is equal to one year. If during this time a new version of the antivirus is released, the user can download and install it without any additional payment. For antivirus software, this is most important, since malicious programs appear quite often, and if the antivirus is not updated in time, such a program will get to your computer. The anti-virus databases are regularly updated, so you shouldn't neglect the license in any case.
How to renew the license of Kaspersky Anti-Virus?
If Kaspersky antivirus “swears” that the license has expired, it means that it needs to be renewed. At the same time, you need to know that when renewing the license, you can switch to using a more expensive antivirus product while maintaining the discount. There are several ways to renew your license. Each user chooses for himself what to do. For example, you can buy and renew a license in the form of a box with a Kaspersky disk (in this case, the user receives an activation code and the application itself), in the form of a scratch card (only a license code), or via electronic delivery through a Kaspersky Lab store. In the latter case, the user should indicate his payment details and e-mail address, which will receive a letter with an activation code.
After you receive a new license renewal code, you will need to enter it in the program itself. To do this, start Kaspersky antivirus by clicking on the corresponding icon in the tray. Next, in the window that appears, you need to click on the "Licensing" item. A new window will appear in which you should click on one of the buttons: "Activate the program" or "Buy an activation code" (if you have not yet purchased it). After clicking, the program will ask you to enter the appropriate code in a special field. If everything is written correctly, then Kaspersky antivirus will delight you with reliable protection for another year.
It is worth noting one important nuance that has appeared since the 2012 version of Kaspersky antivirus. When the user renews the license, the program will first check for a valid license (that is, you will need to enter it as well). If the user does not have a previous license, then the term of the new one (upon renewal) will be reduced to 8 months.
