HOW TO ACTIVATE THE APPLICATION
Activation is the procedure of activating a license that allows you to use a fully functional version of the application until
the license expires.
If you have not activated the application during installation, you can do so later. You will be reminded about the need to
activate the application by Kaspersky Small Office Security messages appearing in the taskbar notification area.
