36 Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
3.2.2. Activating the program
Before activating the program, make sure that the computer's system date
settings match the actual date and time.
The activation procedure consists in installing a key used by Kaspersky Internet
Security to verify the license to use the application and its expiration date.
The key contains system information necessary for all the program’s features to
operate, and other information:
• Support information (who provides program support and where you can
obtain it)
• Key name, number, and expiration date
Warning!
You must have an Internet connection to activate the program. If you are not
connected to the Internet during installation, you can activate the program
(see Chapter 18, p. 232) later from the program interface.
3.2.2.1. Selecting a program activation method
There are several options for activating the program, depending on whether you
have a key for Kaspersky Internet Security or need to obtain one from the
Kaspersky Lab server:
Activate using the activation code. Select this activation option if you have
purchased the full version of the program and were provided with an
activation code. Using this activation code you will obtain a key file providing
access to the application’s full functionality throughout the effective term of
the license agreement.
Activate trial version. Select this activation option if you want to install a trial
version of the program before making the decision to purchase the
commercial version. You will be provided with a free key with a limited trial
period as defined in the appropriate license agreement.
Apply existing key. Activate the application using the key file for Kaspersky
Internet Security 7.0.
Activate later. If you choose this option, you will skip the activation stage.
Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 will be installed on your computer and you
will have access to all program features except updates (you can only
update the application once after installation).
