Licensing

This section describes how to activate Kaspersky Scan Engine.

Licensing modes

Kaspersky Scan Engine supports the following licensing modes:

• Offline licensing mode

  In this mode, the Kaspersky Scan Engine licensing system uses a key file to activate Kaspersky Scan Engine.

  You do not have to be connected to the Internet to use this mode. However, you have to renew the key file regularly to avoid licensing limitations.

• Online licensing mode

  In this mode, the Kaspersky Scan Engine licensing system uses an activation code to activate Kaspersky Scan Engine.

  You must have a stable connection to the Internet to use this mode. When necessary, Kaspersky Scan Engine will connect to the Kaspersky servers and renew the activation code automatically.
