Activating Your Kaspersky Total Security License
Activating your Kaspersky Total Security license ensures that your device is protected against threats. Follow this guide to successfully activate your license and keep your device secure.
Understanding Your Activation Code
Your activation code is a 20-character string formatted as five groups of characters separated by hyphens (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX). If you purchased a license online, you will receive this code via email after your purchase. For retail purchases, the code can be found printed on the manual or the retail box containing the installation CD.
Launch the Kaspersky Total Security Application
- Open the Kaspersky Total Security application on your device.
- In the main application window, locate the license option link at the bottom.
The license button will be situated at the bottom of the application. If your license is missing, you can also click on the “license is missing” link.
Entering the Activation Code
Both options will lead you to the activation window. In this window, follow these steps:
- Click on the “Enter Activation Code” button.
- A field will appear where you can input your 20-character activation code.
The activation button will look something like this, allowing you to enter your code.
- After entering your activation code, click the “Activate” button.
Final Steps
Once you have entered your code, click the “Done” button. Kaspersky Total Security will then be activated successfully.
Activating on Multiple Devices
If you purchased a license that allows for multiple devices, you can use the same activation code to activate Kaspersky Total Security on all of your devices.
