The Activation Wizard is started at the first launch of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

Activation is the process of making operational a fully functional version of the application for a specified period of time.

The following options for Kaspersky Anti-Virus activation are offered:

  • Activate application. Select this option and enter an activation code if you have purchased a license for the application.

    If you specify an activation code for Kaspersky Internet Security or Kaspersky Total Security in the entry field, the procedure for switching to Kaspersky Internet Security or Kaspersky Total Security starts after activation is completed.

  • Activate trial version of the application. Select this activation option if you want to install the trial version of the application before making a decision on whether to purchase a license. You will be able to use the application and all of its features during a short evaluation period. When the trial license expires, the trial version of the application cannot be activated for a second time.

An Internet connection is required for activation of the application.

During application activation, you may have to register on the My Kaspersky website.

In some application versions, proxy server authentication may be required during the first launch to obtain information about the current date and time from a trusted source.
