IMPORTANT! All the pictures are the real examples of pirated copies of Kaspersky applications. The codes you can see on the pictures are blocked.
Even if the box does not look suspicious, check the contents in the sales clerk’s presence. The original package contains the following items:
- The document (a card or a Quick Start Guide) with an activation code.
- End User License Agreement.
- The installer.
Card / Quick Start Guide
The activation code can be used only for one Kaspersky application, not two or more.
The card should have a rectangular form and the code should be covered with a scratch-off layer.
The code consists of 20 characters divided into four 5-character groups.
Scratch-off layer
The layer that covers an activation code should be scratched off with a hard object, not torn off.
It should correspond to the height of the characters in the code.
The store must provide you with a receipt that contains the name of the purchased application and the date of purchase. Otherwise the application is most likely to be a pirated copy.
