The Activation Wizard is started at the first launch of Kaspersky Total Security.
Activation is the process of making operational a fully functional version of the application for a specified period of time.
If you have purchased a license for Kaspersky Total Security and downloaded the application from an online store, the application can be activated automatically during installation.
The following options for Kaspersky Total Security activation are offered:
- Activate application. Select this option and enter an activation code if you have purchased a license for the application.
If you specify an activation code for Kaspersky Internet Security or Kaspersky Anti-Virus in the entry field, the procedure for switching to Kaspersky Internet Security or Kaspersky Anti-Virus starts after activation is completed.
- Activate trial version of the application. Select this activation option if you want to install the trial version of the application before making a decision on whether to purchase a license. You will be able to use the application and all of its features during a short evaluation period. When the trial license expires, the trial version of the application cannot be activated for a second time.
An Internet connection is required for activation of the application.
During installation and activation of the application, you may be prompted to create a My Kaspersky account. We recommend that you connect the application to My Kaspersky so that you can save the activation code for subsequent recovery after reinstalling the operating system, installing protection to a new device, or reinstalling the application.
