How to activate the application

Activation is a 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 Internet Security messages appearing in the system tray.

To run the Kaspersky Internet Security activation wizard, perform one of the following:

• Click the Please activate the application link in the Kaspersky Internet Security notice window appearing in the system tray.
• Click the License link in the bottom part of the main application window. In the License management window that opens, click the Activate the application with a new license button.

Let us review the steps of the wizard in more detail.
