Purchase and Apply Your Kaspersky Antivirus License
This article will detail how to purchase Kaspersky Antivirus and
install your newly acquired license.
It is assumed you
already have a trial version of Kaspersky Antivirus installed and
you are ready to purchase the product online with a credit card.
(If you do not have the trial version installed, please visit
our recommended antivirus page for more information.)
You may
want to print this page for reference throughout the procedure.
Purchase the product
Begin by visiting the Kaspersky eStore
Choose Your Quantity and Length
Use the drop-down box to
select how many licenses you wish to purchase as well as the length
of your license.
Each computer you wish to protect must have
a license, and the length of the license determines how long the
product will function. The product will not function once the
license is expired.
Note that if you intend to purchase
protection for more than one computer or for longer than one year
the price is discounted.
Once you have made your selection
click the "Buy Now" button.
