About the subscription

A subscription for Kaspersky VPN Premium is the purchase of the right to use the application according to specific parameters (for example, subscription expiration date, number of devices). You can order a subscription for Kaspersky VPN from a service provider (for example, on App Store or another online store).

You can manage your subscription via your personal account page on the service provider's website (for example, via your Apple account or Google Account).

Before buying a subscription, you can try the trial version of Kaspersky VPN Premium free of charge. The trial version of Kaspersky VPN Premium remains functional during a short trial period. When the trial period ends, you will be charged for a subscription. If you do not want to use Kaspersky VPN Premium, you must cancel the subscription before the trial period ends.

A subscription can be renewed automatically or manually. An auto-renewed subscription automatically renews at the end of each subscription period until you cancel it. A manually renewed subscription must be renewed at the end of each subscription period. After your subscription for Kaspersky VPN Premium expires, you may be offered a grace period, during which you can continue using the application without limitations. If you don't renew your subscription by the end of the grace period, the application will switch to the free version. To switch back to the premium version, buy a new subscription.

Important: Buying a license or ordering a subscription for Kaspersky VPN Premium does not cancel your other subscriptions that include Kaspersky VPN Premium. To avoid additional charges, make sure you have canceled or disabled autorenewal for subscriptions that you don't need.

Cancel a subscription for Kaspersky VPN Premium or switch to manual renewal:

  1. Go to your personal account page on the service provider's website.
  2. Check if there are any active subscriptions that include Kaspersky VPN Premium.
  3. Cancel or disable autorenewal for subscriptions that you don't need.

About anonymous subscriptions

Your subscription is considered "anonymous" if you purchased a subscription for Kaspersky VPN Premium from the App Store while not signed in to your My Kaspersky account or when you didn't have a My Kaspersky account. An anonymous subscription is associated with your App Store account, but not with your My Kaspersky account.

You can associate your anonymous subscription with your My Kaspersky account at any time. After you sign in to My Kaspersky on the device with Kaspersky VPN Premium, your subscription is automatically associated with your My Kaspersky account. This process may take some time, and active VPN sessions on your devices may be stopped. After that, you can use My Kaspersky to manage your subscription. All devices that use this subscription will be automatically connected to your My Kaspersky account. You will also be able to use your My Kaspersky account to apply your subscription to Kaspersky VPN on new devices (if the device limit has not been reached).

When you restore an anonymous subscription from Kaspersky VPN while signed in to your My Kaspersky account, your subscription is automatically associated with your My Kaspersky account as well. All devices that use this subscription will be automatically connected to it.

Note: After your subscription is associated with your My Kaspersky account, you need to confirm all your automatically connected devices on My Kaspersky.

You can disconnect the subscription from My Kaspersky by contacting Kaspersky Technical Support.

Disconnect an anonymous subscription from your device

  1. Click Subscription Details.

    A window with the current subscription details appears.

  2. Click Disconnect from Subscription.
  3. Confirm the action by clicking Disconnect from Subscription again.

Your application switches to the free version.
