How to protect more devices
Available only in Kaspersky Standard, Kaspersky Plus, and Kaspersky Premium.
You can use your subscription to protect more devices running Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS operating systems. Trial subscription is not available for macOS. The number of devices on which you may use your subscription depends on the subscription plan and the terms and conditions stipulated by the End User License Agreement.
You can use your subscription to protect not just your own devices, but also devices of your family members. You can share protection with other users and remotely monitor the security of their devices.
In the user interface of the application, in Profile or Home sections, you can see how many devices your subscription lets you protect, how many devices you are currently protecting, and you can also start protecting new devices. If your subscription has expired or has been blocked, you cannot add new devices.
If you have connected a device to your My Kaspersky account, the information is refreshed when you run the application. All your devices protected by your subscription, must also be connected to your My Kaspersky account.
Depending on your subscription, only the general information about the total number of devices that you can protect may be displayed.
You can find detailed information about each device and its protection status in your My Kaspersky account.
