A license key is a sequence of bits used to activate and use the application in accordance with the End User License Agreement. A license key is generated by Kaspersky.
You can add a key to the application in one of the following ways: apply a key file or enter an activation code.
The added license key is displayed in the application interface as a unique alphanumeric sequence.
Kaspersky can block a license key over violations of the End User License Agreement. If the license key has been blocked, you must add a different license key to continue using the application.
