Activating the application

The application must be activated on a computer with the current system date and time. If the system date and time are changed after activation of the application, the key becomes inoperable. The application switches to a mode of operation without updates, and Kaspersky Security Network is not available. The key can be made operable again only by reinstalling the operating system.

At this step, select one of the following Kaspersky Endpoint Security activation options:

• Activate with an activation code. To activate the application with an activation code, select this option and enter an activation code.
• Activate with a key file. Select this option to activate the application with a key file.
• Activate trial version. To activate the trial version of the application, select this option. The user can use the fully-functional version of the application for the duration of the term that is limited by the license for the trial version of the application. After the license expires, the application functionality is blocked and you cannot activate the trial version again.
• Activate later. Select this option if you want to skip the stage of Kaspersky Endpoint Security activation. The user will be able to work with the File Anti-Virus and Firewall components only. The user will be able to update anti-virus databases and modules of Kaspersky Endpoint Security only once after installation. The Activate later option is available only at the first start of the Initial Configuration Wizard, immediately after installing the application.

An Internet connection is required to activate the trial version of the application, or to activate the application with an activation code.

To proceed with the Initial Configuration Wizard, select an activation option and click the Next button. To stop the Initial Configuration Wizard, click the Cancel button.
