If you purchased a box or an activation card
If you have purchased a box or an activation card in a store, you will find the activation code on the backside of the box, in the user documentation, or on the back of the card. The activation code is a unique sequence of twenty digits and Latin letters in the format xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.
If you have purchased an activation card:
- Open My Kaspersky website on the device you want to protect.
- Create an account or sign in to an existing account.
- Under Already have an activation code? in the lower part of the page, enter the activation code in the entry field.
- Click the Add button.
If the activation code was added successfully, the Subscriptions section displays the subscription panel.
- In the subscription panel, click Download to download the application to your device.
- Install the application.
After the application has been successfully installed, it will be activated automatically according to the terms of your subscription.
If you have purchased a box with an installation disk:
- Insert the disk into the disk drive.
- In the My Kaspersky account connection window, create an account or sign in to an existing account.
- In the activation code window, enter the activation code in the text box and click Add.
The activation code is saved in your account under Subscriptions.
- Click Download and Install to download and install the application to your device.
- Install the application.
After the application has been successfully installed, it will be activated automatically according to the terms of your subscription.
The countdown for the expiration of a subscription activated with an activation code starts from the date when you activate the application on the first device.
