Renewing your License

You must have a license key to be able to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus. The license key is included in the distribution kit and enables you to use the application from the date of purchase and key installation.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus WILL NOT WORK without the license key!

After the license expires, Kaspersky Anti-Virus retains its functionality except for the anti-virus database and application module update services. You will still be able to scan your computer and email for viruses, and disinfect infected objects but you will only be able to use out-of-date databases that were released on the date of the license expiration. Therefore, we do not guarantee 100% protection from new viruses that appear after your Kaspersky Anti-Virus license expires.

To avoid possible infection of your computer by new viruses, you are advised to renew your Kaspersky Anti-Virus license.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus will notify you about the license expiration two weeks prior to the expiration date. A reminder message will be displayed each time you start the application during this period.

To renew your license, you must purchase and install a new license key for Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal. To obtain a new key:

Contact the vendor from whom you purchased the product and purchase a new Kaspersky Anti-Virus license key.
