Step 10. Activating the application
Activation is a procedure of activating a license that allows you to use a fully functional version of the application until the license expires.
You will need an Internet connection to activate the application.
You can select any of the following options when activating Kaspersky Anti-Virus:
- Activate commercial license. Select this option and enter the activation code if you have purchased a commercial version of the application.
If you enter the activation code for Kaspersky Internet Security in the entry field, upon the completion of the activation a procedure will start that allows to switch to Kaspersky Internet Security.
- Activate trial license. Use this activation option if you want to install the trial version of the application before making the decision to purchase a commercial version. You will be able to use the fully-functional version of the application for the duration of a term limited by the license for the trial version of the application. When the license expires, it cannot be activated for a second time.
- Activate later. If you choose this option, the Kaspersky Anti-Virus activation stage is skipped. The application will be installed on your computer with all of its functions, except updates, available. You will only be able to update anti-virus databases and modules of Kaspersky Anti-Virus once after installation. The option is only available at the first start of the Activation Wizard, immediately after installing the application.
If Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been installed and then removed with activation information saved, this step is skipped. In this case the wizard will automatically retrieve information about the existing license and proceed to the final stage of activation.
