How to renew Kaspersky license - if the period has expired or not

Every computer needs protection from threats that can be "picked up" while being on the Internet. Popular among users of the CIS is a product from a Kaspersky Lab with the same name. The program effectively monitors viruses and malicious files. To use it fully, you will need a license for Kaspersky.

What are log keys for Kaspersky Anti-Virus

Kaspersky® Keys are a kind of subscription that lasts a year, after which you must buy it again. If you divide the cost by months, you get a relatively modest amount. However, some people( especially young people) are trying to find different ways to extend the license of Kaspersky and not pay for the product. This method exists, it is quite legal, but it has some nuances.

Every month in the major magazine editions devoted to games, the activation key of Kaspersky, valid for 30 days, is published. This is done to popularize both software and gaming magazines. This proposal looks very attractive, if you are a fan and you are still going to purchase a new release of CHIP, ComputerBild, MirPK, etc. This is a legal option to extend the license of Kaspersky to 1 computer, you can use it for any version of the program( Internet security, Small office security, Total, Crystal, etc.).

How to get the code to activate Kaspersky

For the full operation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you need to enter a special code that will give access to the server for updating the databases, all functions of the program and the opportunity to get advice from technical support. To purchase, you can choose any of the following methods:

• through the button in the program itself;
• using the list of online stores on the antivirus site;
• using a code card( bought in a physical store).

The easiest way to extend a license for Kaspersky is to purchase it from authorized dealers. You can find a list of representatives in a special section on the company's website. If you have already downloaded and installed the utility, then directly inside it, look for the "Buy" button, when you click on the system, you will be redirected to the license acquisition page.

In the network there are large or small Internet sites that offer to extend the license with their keys, and sometimes it is possible to find a relatively low price for the goods. These licenses are no different from those sold by Kaspersky Lab itself, but sometimes scammers try to sell invalid codes or those whose expiration date has already expired. Buy the goods only on the checked sites, about which there are reviews on the Internet.

How to extend the trial version of Kaspersky

When you first install Kaspersky of any version, you will be given a month for trial use of the program. All functions will be available so you can make sure that the product is worth your money. If you want, you can avoid spending on the code and try to reactivate the trial period using the Trial Reset program. When downloading it, be sure to turn off the antivirus, otherwise the self-protection will work, and it will simply remove the installer. The utility resets the previous trial period and helps to get a new one. It is necessary to do the following:

1. Go to the antivirus, in the "Settings" section, and in the "Parameters" tab, tick the "Disable self-protection".The program will resist, but you agree with all warnings.
2. Turn off the program, it is better to do it through the "Task Manager", complete the antivirus process.
3. Run Trial Reset, wait until it performs the necessary actions.
4. Restart Kaspersky and activate the trial period.
5. After a month, repeat the above steps.

How many times to use this method, you decide personally. This method is illegal, so it's best to avoid such "piracy", once to spend some money and get a real license key. This can be useful if you use two computers( home and work), because modern licenses are sold immediately for two devices.
