Kaspersky IS
Activation and Licenses
Some important notes:
Kaspersky is licensed by product and number of users
The product license ONLY works on that product.
KAV licenses won't work on KIS
KIS licenses won't work on PURE
PURE licenses won't work on KAV
and so on
Kaspersky single and multi-PC licenses are honoured by later versions
This holds true at 2012 where both 2010 and 2011 licenses are allowed – so long as the product matches
Licenses that are older (say 2009) will only be handled by stating your case to Kaspersky support
Kaspersky multi-year licenses are also honoured by later versions
This holds true at 2012 where both 2010 and 2011 licenses are allowed – so long as the product matches
Licenses that are older (say 2009) will only be handled by stating your case to Kaspersky support
The license can only be applied to the number of machines it represents
If the disk dies and is replaced, just install and reactivate the licence (OEM as well).
If the CPU and/or Motherboard dies and is replaced, you will most likely need to contact Kaspersky support
If a machine dies and is replaced, you will most likely need to contact Kaspersky support
If you uninstall your Kaspersky product from a machine, you might be able to install it on another.
If this is a requirement and your attempt fails, contact Kaspersky support
To qualify for OEM licensing you must "be a system builder"
One license per machine
Sure it's cheaper, but you must buy hardware...
You would also be expected to be able to do a reasonable level of diagnosis. That extra retail money pays for support. :-)
Do not activate your license(s) until you absolutely have to.
The licensing period now starts when you activate your license for the first time.
No left-over days are carried forward!
Kaspersky's activation server holds your activation information. This means:
A reformat of your machine will NOT give you extra days
Activating a NEW licence MIGHT NOT ADD days to your EXISTING days
Say you had 6 months left on a licence today on a PC – if you bought a new "great deal" and activated that today on that PC over the top of your 6 months remaining, your licence period end would become simply that of the new "great deal". You would lose the pre-existing 6 months.
Activating a MULTI-PC licence causes an end date to be set for ALL machines on that licence.
A 3 machine (user), 1 year licence activated today means ALL 3 machines on that licence will end 1 year from today
A 3 machine (user), 2 year licence activated today means ALL 3 machines on that licence will end 2 years from today
Which product do I need?
Well there are a few simple guidelines I use when deciding for others:
Kaspersky Internet Security (the best choice, IWHO*) you would:
be running Windows
not purchase another third-party powerful firewall (KIS is integrated and therefore efficient/easier/appropriate)
require security for financial transactions you make on the Internet
use the product purchased by and appropriate for most Kaspersky home users
Kaspersky Anti-Virus (basic AV security)
be running Windows OR a MAC OS
have already purchased a third-party powerful firewall that is known to Kaspersky as compatible
If you don't know, you should check immediately – start here Link probably needs and update
not do financial transactions on the Internet
OR can guarantee their security by other means
Kaspersky PURE (the full gamut)
be running Windows
want things like
the password safe (that you need a password for)
cloud backups
monitoring of other PCs at home
and more
