If you purchased a box or an activation card

If you have purchased a box or an activation card in a store, you will find the activation code on the backside of the box, in the user documentation, or on the back of the card. The activation code is a unique sequence of twenty digits and Latin letters in the format xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.

If you have purchased an activation card:

  1. Open My Kaspersky website on the device you want to protect.
  2. Create an account or sign in to an existing account.
  3. Under Already have an activation code? in the lower part of the page, enter the activation code in the entry field.
  4. Click the Add button.

    If the activation code was added successfully, the Subscriptions section displays the subscription panel.

  5. In the subscription panel, click Download to download the application to your device.
  6. Install the application.

    After the application has been successfully installed, it will be activated automatically according to the terms of your subscription.

If you have purchased a box with an installation disk:

  1. Insert the disk into the disk drive.
  2. In the My Kaspersky account connection window, create an account or sign in to an existing account.
  3. In the activation code window, enter the activation code in the text box and click Add.

    The activation code is saved in your account under Subscriptions.

  4. Click Download and Install to download and install the application to your device.
  5. Install the application.

    After the application has been successfully installed, it will be activated automatically according to the terms of your subscription.

The countdown for the expiration of a subscription activated with an activation code starts from the date when you activate the application on the first device.
