Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
3.2.2.3.
User Registration
This step of the activation wizard requires you to provide your contact informa-
tion: email address, city and country of residence. This information is required for
Kaspersky Lab Technical Support to identify you as a registered user.
After the information is entered, it will be sent by the activation wizard to an acti-
vation server, and you will be assigned a client ID and a password for the Per-
sonal Cabinet on the Technical Support web site. Information on client ID is
available under
Support
in the application main window.
3.2.2.4.
Obtaining a Key File
The Setup Wizard connects to Kaspersky Lab servers and sends them your reg-
istration data (the activation code and personal information) for inspection.
If the activation code passes inspection, the Wizard receives a key file. If you
install the demo version of the program, the Setup Wizard will receive a trial key
file without an activation code.
The file obtained will be installed into the application automatically, and an “acti-
vation complete” window will be displayed for you with detailed information on
the key being used.
Note
When this activation method is selected, the application does not download a
physical file with the
*.key
extension from a server but rather obtains certain data
that are written to the operating system registry and the file system.
User registration at the Kaspersky Lab website is required to obtain an actual
activation key.
If the activation code does not pass inspection, an information message will be
displayed on the screen. If this occurs, contact the software vendors from whom
you purchased the program for more information.
3.2.2.5.
Selecting a Key File
If you have a key file for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0, the Wizard will ask if you want
to install it. If you do, use the
Browse
button and select the file path for the file
with the
.key
extension in the file selection window.
Following successful key installation, current key information will be displayed at
the bottom of the window: owner name, key code, key type (commercial, for beta
testing, trial, etc.), and expiration date.
