About the license key

A license key is a sequence of bits that you can apply to activate and then use the program in accordance with the terms of the End User License Agreement. License keys are generated by Kaspersky specialists.

You can add a license key to the program by applying a key file. The license key is displayed in the program interface as a unique alphanumeric sequence after you add it to the program.

The license key may be blocked by Kaspersky in case the terms of the License Agreement have been violated. If the license key has been blocked, you need to add another one if you want to use the program.

A license key may be active or reserve.

An active license key is the license key currently used by the program. An active license key can be added for a trial or commercial license. The program cannot have more than one active license key.

A reserve license key is the license key that entitles the user to use the program but is not currently in use. The additional license key automatically becomes active when the license associated with the current active license key expires. An additional license key can be added only if an active license key has already been added.

A license key for a trial license can be added as an active license key. A license key for a trial license cannot be added as an additional license key.
