Each user of Kaspersky antivirus, as a rule, once a year begins to think about renewing the antivirus license. Renewing (or buying) a license is not difficult, however, there are some nuances that we will consider in this article.

That same user, when purchasing a licensed antivirus, must understand that he is not purchasing a complete antivirus, but is only acquiring the right to use the program for a certain period (usually 1 year).

If new versions of the antivirus are released during the period of using the program, the user will be able to obtain them without any problems. Moreover, it is highly recommended to install antivirus updates, because they contain multiple improvements, such as new virus search algorithms or new anti-virus components.

Renewal instructions

If your computer is using Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 and you need to update to the latest 2019 version, you need to:

1. Download distribution the latest version of the antivirus on the official website of Kaspersky Lab.
2. Once the download is complete, you need to launch it and follow the installer’s further instructions.
3. The installer will automatically remove the old version of Internet Security and install the new version. The validity period of the new version will correspond to the expiration date of the old version of the antivirus.
4. After installation is complete, you must restart your computer.

If your license has expired, you need to renew your antivirus license. You can renew your license in several ways: by purchasing a box with a disk and an activation code, by purchasing a scratch card (which only has an activation code), or by purchasing a license key on the official Kaspersky Lab website.

After you have purchased a key using one of the methods listed above, you need to check the version of your antivirus. To do this, right-click on the antivirus icon, which is located on the right side of the taskbar and select the “About” line.

If you have an old version of the antivirus installed on your computer, it is better to update it to the latest version (the update process is described above).

Now all that remains is to activate the license you purchased. To do this, open the main program window and click on the “Licensing” button, which is located in the lower right corner of the window.

Your next step will be to select “Activate the program”.

A new window will appear in which you must enter the activation code.

That's all, now you can rest assured about the security of your computer for another 1 year.

And now the nuances:

• Starting with antivirus version 2010, Kaspersky Lab developers removed the ability to renew the license by contacting Kaspersky Lab technical support. In other words, new versions of the antivirus must have a network connection.

• Starting with the 2012 version of the antivirus, developers introduced a check for a valid license when the client tries to update the key. If the user does not have a previous license, the validity period of the new license will be reduced to 8 months.

Every computer needs protection from threats that can be picked up while on the Internet. A product from Kaspersky Lab of the same name is considered popular among CIS users. The program effectively monitors viruses and malicious files. To use it fully, you will need a license for Kaspersky.

However, some people (especially young people) are trying to find different ways to renew their Kaspersky license and not pay for the product. This method exists, it is completely legal, but has some nuances.

Every month, major gaming magazines publish a Kaspersky activation key, which is valid for 30 days. This is done to popularize both software and gaming magazines.

For Kaspersky antivirus to work fully, you must enter a special code that will provide access to the server for updating the databases, all program functions and the ability to get advice from technical support. To purchase, you can choose any of the following methods:

There are large or small online platforms on the Internet that offer to renew your license using their keys, and sometimes you can find a relatively low price for the product. These licenses are no different from those sold by Kaspersky Lab itself, but sometimes scammers try to sell incorrect codes or those that have already expired. Buy products only from trusted sites that have reviews on the Internet.

How to renew your trial version of Kaspersky

When you first install Kaspersky, any version, you will be given a month to trial use the program. All features will be available to ensure that the product is worth your money. If you wish, you can avoid spending money on the code and try to reactivate the trial period using the Trial Reset program. While downloading it, be sure to disable your antivirus, otherwise self-defense will work and it will simply delete the resetter installer. The utility resets the previous trial period and helps you get a new one. You need to do the following:

1. Go to the antivirus, go to the “Settings” section, and in the “Options” tab, check the box next to “Disable self-defense.” The program will resist, but you agree to all warnings.
2. Turn off the program, it is better to do this through the “Task Manager”, end the antivirus process.
3. Run Trial Reset, wait until it carries out the necessary actions.
4. Turn Kaspersky back on and activate the trial period.
5. After a month, repeat the above steps again.

How many times to use this method is up to you personally. This method is illegal, so it is better to avoid such “piracy”, spend a certain amount of money once and take a real license key. This can be useful if you use two computers (home and work), because modern licenses are sold for two devices at once.
