We recommend renewing the license before its expiration to ensure maximum protection of your computer against all
security threats.
Before purchasing a license, you can get acquainted the trial version of Kaspersky Internet Security without any fees.
The trial version of Kaspersky Internet Security remains functional during a short evaluation period. After the evaluation
period ends, Kaspersky Internet Security stops running all of its features. To continue using the application, you should
purchase a license.
ABOUT THE ACTIVATION CODE
Activation code is a code that you receive on purchasing a license for Kaspersky Internet Security. This code is required
for activation of the application.
The activation code is a unique sequence of twenty digits and Latin letters in the format xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.
Depending on how you purchased the application, you can obtain the activation code in one of the following ways:
 If you have purchased the boxed version of Kaspersky Internet Security, the activation code is specified in the
documentation or on the box containing the setup CD.
 If you have purchased Kaspersky Internet Security at an online store, the activation code is sent to the email
address that you have specified when ordering the product.
 If you participate in the Protect a Friend program (see the section "Participation in the Protect a Friend
program" on page 67), you can receive a bonus activation code in exchange for your bonus points.
The license term countdown starts from the date when you activate the application. If you have acquired a license
intended for the use of Kaspersky Internet Security on several devices, the term of the license starts counting down from
the moment you have first applied the activation code.
If you have lost or accidentally deleted your activation code after the application activation, contact Kaspersky Lab
Technical Support to restore the activation code (http://support.kaspersky.com).
ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION
Subscription for Kaspersky Internet Security is an order for the application with the selected settings (the expiration date
and the number of protected devices). You can order a subscription for Kaspersky Internet Security from a service
provider (for example, from your Internet provider). You can pause or resume your subscription, renew it in automatic
mode, or cancel it. You can manage your subscription via your personal cabinet on the service provider's website.
Service providers can provide two types of subscription for Kaspersky Internet Security: subscription for update and
subscription for update and protection.
Subscription can be limited (for example, one-year) or unlimited (with no expiration date). To continue using Kaspersky
Internet Security after the limited subscription expires, you should renew it. Unlimited subscription is renewed
automatically provided a prepayment to the service provider was timely.
If the subscription term is limited, upon its termination a privileged period for subscription prolongation will be granted to
you during which the application functionality remains unchanged.
If the subscription is not renewed when the privileged period expires, Kaspersky Internet Security stops updating the
application databases (for subscription for update), as well as providing protection of the computer and running scan
tasks (for subscription for update and protection).
To use Kaspersky Internet Security under subscription, you should apply the activation code received from the service
provider. In some cases, an activation code can be downloaded and applied automatically. When using the application
under subscription, you cannot apply another activation code to renew your license. You can do it only when the
subscription term expires.
