A license is a time-limited right to use the application as granted under the terms of the concluded End User License Agreement.
The available functionality and application usage period depend on the type of license under which the application is being used.
The following types of licenses are available:
Trial licenses have a short validity period. On expiry of a trial license, all the functions of Kaspersky Security become unavailable. To continue using the application, you need to purchase a commercial license.
You can use the application under a trial license only for one trial usage period.
When the commercial license expires, the application continues to work in limited functionality mode. Kaspersky Security stops updating application databases, using Kaspersky Security Network, and scanning objects upon requests from the third-party applications (AMSI Protection). You can still protect and scan virtual machines, but only using application databases that were installed before the license expiration date. To continue using Kaspersky Security in fully functional mode, you must renew your commercial license.
It is recommended to extend the validity period of the license before its expiration date to ensure maximum protection.
