Activate application

Important: Before activating the Kaspersky application, make sure that the date and time set on your computer match the actual date and time.

Activating the application involves adding a subscription and connecting the application to a My Kaspersky account.

Note: An internet connection is required to activate the application.

Activate the application if you already have a subscription in your My Kaspersky account

  1. Start the application.
  2. In the Choose Your Activation Mode window, select the Sign In to My Kaspersky button.
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen to activate the application with the subscription in your My Kaspersky account.

    The application connects to Kaspersky activation servers and sends data for verification. If verification is successful, the application receives and adds a license key for the subscription.

Activate the application with an activation code

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the bottommost pane of the main application window, click Profile.

    The Profile window opens.

  3. In the Profile window, enter the activation code that you received when purchasing the Kaspersky solution.
  4. Click Activate.

    Note: An activation code is a unique combination of twenty Latin letters and numbers in the form xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-ххххх.

    The application connects to Kaspersky activation servers and sends the activation code to verify its authenticity. If the activation code is successfully verified, the application automatically receives and adds the license key.

  5. Click Finish to complete activating the application.

    Note: You may need to connect to My Kaspersky to complete the activation.

    If activation code cannot be verified, a corresponding notification is displayed. In this case, contact the software vendor that supplied you with this activation code.

For more information about other activation options, see the Kaspersky Help for Windows application.

Activate the trial version if available

  1. Start the Kaspersky application.
  2. In the Choose Your Activation Mode window, select the Start Trial button.
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen to activate the application with the trial subscription.

    Note: You may need to sign in to My Kaspersky to finish the activation.

    The Kaspersky application connects to Kaspersky activation servers and sends data for verification. If verification is successful, the application receives and adds a license key for the free trial subscription.

    Important: A trial version of the Kaspersky application can be activated only if the application has not been previously activated on the computer.

After activating the application, you can find the following information in the Profile window:

  • Subscription status
  • Active key
  • Subscription expiration date and time
  • Number of days until your subscription expires
  • Number of devices currently protected by your subscription and the number of devices with which you can share protection

    Note: Some subscription plans may display only the information about the total number of devices that can be protected by your subscription.
