Optimal protection for Windows
Kaspersky has released a new solution — Kaspersky.
Kaspersky is a subscription-based application. The subscription for your Kaspersky application will be extended automatically before it expires, providing you with seamless protection. You will not have to monitor the license term, place an order and manually activate an application with a new activation code.
There are three Kaspersky subscription plans: Basic, Standard, Plus. For a detailed comparison of subscription plans, see Online Help.
Compatibility with other Kaspersky applications
Kaspersky Basic, Standard, Plus are compatible with valid licenses for other Kaspersky applications. The subscription plans correspond to other Kaspersky applications as follows:

If you are using Kaspersky Total Security, you can renew the license and switch to Kaspersky Plus.
