When the Kaspersky application is activated:
- The status in the main window says Your protection is live now.
- In the lower-right corner of the application window, there is a number of days remaining until license expiration.
- The indicator color is green. However, it may turn yellow or red due to warnings or problems unrelated to the license.

When you are using a subscription license, you do not need to enter activation code for activating the application, and there is no window for entering the license in the application interface. Once the subscription term is expired, the window for entering the activation code will become available.
In case of some activation issues, we recommend deleting a license key from an application and activating the application once again.
We also recommend that you add your activation code to your My Kaspersky account to keep it at hand.
