About the key

A key is a sequence of bits that you can apply to activate and then use the application in accordance with the terms of the End User License Agreement. Keys are generated by Kaspersky Lab specialists.

To add a key to the application, you must enter an activation code. The key is displayed in the application interface as a unique alphanumeric sequence after you add it to the application.

The key may be blocked by Kaspersky Lab if the License Agreement has been violated. If the key has been blocked, you need to add another one if you want to use the application.

A key can be active or reserve.

An active key is a key that is currently used by the application. The application cannot have more than one active key.

A reserve key is a key that entitles the user to use the application, but is not currently in use. The reserve key automatically becomes active when the license associated with the current active key expires. A reserve key can be added only if an active key is already present. A reserve key cannot be added if you are using a subscription key. A subscription key cannot be added as a reserve key.

A trial license key can be added as the active key. A key for the trial license cannot be added as the reserve key.
