SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE AUTOMATIC
LICENSE RENEWAL
When licensing using the subscription the application will automatically contact
the activation server in certain time intervals to maintain the validity of your
license during the entire period of subscription.
If the current key has expired, Kaspersky Internet Security will check for the
availability of an updated key at the server using background mode and if such
key is found, the application will download it and install it in the previous key
replacement mode. This way the license will be renewed without your
involvement. If the period during which the application renews the license itself
has also expired, the license can be renewed manually. During the period
allowing manual license renewal, the functionality of the application will be
retained. After this period expires, if the license has not been renewed, it will no
longer upload bases updates (for the commercial license with subscription), as
well as will stop to ensure the protection of your computer (for the commercial
license with protection subscription). To reject the subscription for automatic
license renewal, contact our online store from which you have purchased the
application.
Warning!
If by the moment of activation the application is already activated using a
commercial key, such commercial key will be replaced with a subscription key (a
protection subscription key). If you wish to start using the commercial key again,
you must delete the subscription key and activate the application again with the
activation code using which you obtained the commercial key earlier.
The subscription condition is characterized by the following statuses:
