If the subscription validity period has elapsed as well as the grace period during which license can be renewed
(subscription status – Expired) Kaspersky Anti-Virus will notify you about it and will stop its attempts to renew license
automatically. For license with subscription the functionality of the application will retain except for the databases update
feature. For license with protection subscription the application databases will not be updated, computer protection will
not be performed and scan tasks will not be executed.
If, for any reason, the license was not renewed in time (subscription status – Update is required), for example the
computer was off during the entire time while the license renewal was available, you can renew its status manually. Until
the moment of the subscription renewal Kaspersky Anti-Virus ceases to update the application databases (for license
with subscription), as well as stops to perform the computer protection and to execute scan tasks (for license with
protection subscription).
When using the subscription, you will not be able to use another activation code to renew the license. This option will only
be available after the subscription expires (subscription status – Expired). To renew the license, you will be provided a
grace period, during which the application functionality will be preserved.
When you use subscription and reinstall the application on your computer, you will need to activate the product again
manually using the activation code you obtained when you purchased the application.
Depending on the subscription provider, the set of available actions to be performed on the subscription may vary. Also,
the grace period when license renewal is available, will not be provided by default.
PARTICIPATING IN KASPERSKY SECURITY NETWORK
A great number of new threats appear worldwide on a daily basis. To facilitate the gathering of statistics about new
threats, their source and to help in developing methods to be used for their elimination, Kaspersky Lab invites you to use
the Kaspersky Security Network service.
The use of the Kaspersky Security Network involves sending the following information to Kaspersky Lab:
A unique identifier assigned to your computer by Kaspersky Anti-Virus, which characterizes the hardware
settings of your computer and does not contain any information.
Information about threats detected by application's components. The information's structure and contents
depend on the type of the threat detected.
Information about the system: operating system's version, installed service packs, services and drivers being
downloaded, versions of browsers and mail clients, browser extensions, version number of the Kaspersky Lab's
application installed.
Kaspersky Security Network also gathers extended statistics, including information about:
executable files and signed applications downloaded on your computer;
applications run on your computer.
The statistical information is sent once application updating is complete.
Kaspersky Lab guarantees that no gathering and distribution of users' personal data is performed within Kaspersky
Security Network.
To configure the statistics sending settings:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. Select the Feedback section in the left part of the window.
3. Check the I agree to participate in Kaspersky Security Network box to confirm your participation in
Kaspersky Security Network.
