License management This chapter contains information regarding the basic concepts used in the context of the application licensing. You will also learn about the automatic renewal of the license and where to view information regarding the current license.

About license agreement

The End User License Agreement – is an agreement between natural or legal person lawfully

in possession of a copy of Kaspersky PURE and Kaspersky Lab, ZAO. The EULA is included

in each Kaspersky Lab application. It contains a detailed description of rights and Kaspersky

PURE usage restrictions. According to the EULA, when you purchase and install a Kaspersky

Lab application, you get an unlimited right to own its copy.

About license

License is a right to use Kaspersky PURE and the related additional services offered by

Kaspersky Lab or its partners.

Each license is defined by its expiry date and a type.

License term – a period during which the additional services are offered:

► Technical support;

► Updating databases and application modules.

The scope of provided services depends on the type of the license.

The following license types are provided:

1. Trial – a free license with a limited validity period, for example, 30 days, offered to

become familiar with Kaspersky PURE.

Trial license can only be used once and cannot be used after a commercial license!

As soon as the trial license expires, all Kaspersky PURE features become disabled.

To continue using the application you should activate it with an activation code. The

activation procedure will be described below.

NOTE: Technical support is provided only to the customers of commercial license.

2. Commercial – a commercial license with a limited validity period (for example, one

year), offered upon purchase of Kaspersky PURE. One license can cover several

computers.

If a commercial license is activated, all application features and additional services

(technical support, update of bases and application modules) are available.

As soon as a commercial license expires, Kaspersky PURE remains a full-featured

application, but the anti-virus databases are not updated. You can still scan your

computer for viruses and use the protection components, but only using the databases

that you had when the license expired.

Two weeks before the license expiration date, the application will notify you of this event

so you can renew the license in advance. The procedure of a license renewal will be

described below.

Commercial with an update subscription and commercial with an update and

protection subscription – a paid license with flexible management.

You can suspend and resume the subscription, extend its validity period in the

automatic mode and cancel the subscription. A license with subscription is

distributed by service providers. You can manage the subscription from the

user's Personal Cabinet on the service provider's website.

The validity period of a subscription can be limited (for example, to one year) or

unlimited. If a subscription with a limited validity period is activated, you should renew it

on your own when it expires. A subscription with an unlimited validity period is extended

automatically subject to timely prepayment to the provider.

If the subscription term is limited, when it expires, you will be offered a grace period for

subscription renewal, during which the full functionality of the program will be

maintained.

If the subscription is not renewed, when grace period expires, Kaspersky PURE ceases

to update the application databases (for licenses with an update subscription) and stops

performing computer protection or executing scan tasks (for licenses with a protection

subscription).

When using the subscription, you will not be able to use another activation code to

renew the license. This is only possible after the subscription expiry date.

If you already have an activated license with a limited term at the time of subscription

activation, it is substituted with the subscription license. To cancel the subscription,

contact the service provider from whom you purchased Kaspersky PURE.

About activation code

An activation code is a unique set of Latin letters and digits that comes in four blocks of five

symbols, separated by a hyphen, for example AA111-AA111-AA111-AA111.

Activation code is the code supplied with a Kaspersky PURE commercial license. This code

is required for activation of the application.

If you purchased a box version of the Kaspersky Lab product, the activation code can be

found printed on the first page of the user manual left cover.

If you have purchased Kaspersky Lab product via E-Store, the activation code will be sent to

you via e-mail you have specified when making the order.

The activation code which has never been activated does not have an expiry date. An unused

activation code can be activated at any time, but the license will begin to expire on the day of

initial activation.

In this case the Configuration Wizard will connect to the Kaspersky Lab servers and send

the activation code to the servers. If the activation code is verified, the wizard receives a key

file which is automatically installed to the program. The activation process is complete and is

accompanied by a window with the detailed information about the purchased license.

If the activation code was not verified, the corresponding message is displayed on the screen.

In this case contact the company where you purchased the license.

If the number of activations with one activation code is exceeded a corresponding message will

appear on the screen. The activation process will be terminated and the program will offer you

to contact Kaspersky Lab Technical Support.

If an activation error occurred and the activation code was not activated, contact Technical

support via My Kaspersky Account service from any computer with an Internet connection.

Give the following information in your request:

Place where you purchased Kaspersky Lab product;

Information about the owner: surname, name;

Exact purchase date;

Full registration number of your license (this number is written on the first page of the

user manual left cover from the box version of the product or in an email (if you

purchased the product via eStore);

Product activation code.

Without an activation code the application will work in limited functionality.

For example, you will be able to update the program only once (further updates will not be

performed), some other functionalities will be unavailable.

Activation issues of Kaspersky Lab products

Kaspersky Lab products can be activated by activation codes purchased in the region where

the product will be used.

The error may appear if you try to activate your application using an activation code in one

region (country), but the activation code you use is intended for use in another region (country).

For example, you bought Kaspersky PURE via E-Store in India, but you try to install and

activate the application in the United Kingdom.
