How to upgrade a previous version of the application

If Kaspersky PURE or an earlier version of Kaspersky Total Security is already installed on your computer, you can upgrade it to the latest version of Kaspersky Total Security.

To upgrade the application,

start installing a new version of the application.

If you have a current license for Kaspersky PURE or a previous version of Kaspersky Total Security, you do not need to activate the application: the Setup Wizard will automatically retrieve information about the license for the previous version of Kaspersky Total Security and apply it during installation of Kaspersky Total Security.

The application can be upgraded from a previous version automatically in the background if the Download and install new versions automatically option is selected in the Update settings window.

Certain limitations apply to the upgrade from the previous version.

If you had previously created a container in Kaspersky PURE, on first access to the container, Kaspersky Total Security converts it to a data vault. Files in the data vault become available when the conversion is complete.
